Strange Transmissions

I couldn't make a change

I might have known you had found another love

I sat at home all night

Baskin' in the lonely pale of my bed stand light

Through a tear in a curtain in a cheap motel

I saw with jealous eyes

You made the call to lie

Deceptively yours

I saw a black cloud, I didn't hear a sound, only the shell on the ground

Was a scream somewhere and in the thick night air

I put the pedal down, as the sirens wailed, and I sat alone and prayed

Not knowing what was to come

Through the tear in a curtain in a cheap motel

I saw with jealous eyes

You made the call to lie

Deceptively yours

I tried not to believe the scene that I could see

It felt like days passed by

Before I turned away, I felt a dizzy sway

And the gun in my hand, stood before a judge

He cleared his throat to say

I won't give you no bail

Shackled with chains of love

I knew that I had bought my own coffin nails

I hear your sweet voice calling out my name

As I stare from a six-foot cell

And from beyond I heard the words

Deceptively yours
