lyrics

she had communist lipstick and bourgeois shoes
eyelashes could give a rich man the blues
her mom’s credit card tucked into her sock
pouting and drinking a lemon drop

a twist of her hips told me she found the vein in my neck
I always knew she’d be my sweet little death
but I like the story better than the teller
so I walked right up and asked what she was selling

melody monday, melody monday
you’re my own greek tragedy
melody monday, melody monday
such a sweet first act to read
melody monday, melody monday
I was twisted I was wrecked
melody monday, melody monday
suddenly sad songs don’t make sense anymore

the way she said my name had me gasping for air
it was a suffocating space age love affair
it wasn’t long ’til the fire went out
she stole my records and skipped town

but she left her leather jacket at my house
there’s a letter in the pocket, I don’t know what it’s about
remember one thing and you’ll go far
never trust anyone who can spin a yarn

melody monday, melody monday
you’re my own greek tragedy
melody monday, melody monday
such a sweet first act to read
melody monday, melody monday
I was twisted I was wrecked
melody monday, melody monday
suddenly sad songs don’t make sense anymore

melody monday, melody monday
you’re my own greek tragedy
melody monday, melody monday
such a sweet first act to read
melody monday, melody monday
McCartney’s on the radio
melody monday, melody monday
suddenly sad songs don’t make sense anymore
