lyrics

A man loved a man who loved a woman who loved another man
All four of them made a plan to go to a music show
Wax Mannequin, he played The Price, the crowd went wild, he played it twice
They danced and sang until he stopped and then they shouted no

Play on play on but Wax was gone the crowd grew angry and with their drawn
and deadly fists and muscled wrists they tore each other into bits
And the man, the man the lady and the other man they turned and ran
Through flying kicks and pointed sticks and the gnashing teeth of angry kids

Man number one he made it and the lady made it too
But bits of flesh were all they left behind of man number four and number two
And when lady and man one were done with crying tears for everyone
They planned to leave the living land for the palace of the damned

Man one who loved no ladies bought an expensive black Mercedes
And drove it to the funeral and then drove it off a cliff
And the lady who loved the final man tied a belt onto a ceiling fan
And swung from it until the neighbors found her cold and stiff

And now all three men and lady have made the trip to Hades
Their love burns the hottest fires to ash and sends the demons panicking
And from the flaming rivers leaping fish made out of cinders
Splash and dance a fishy dance to the singing of Wax Mannequin
