Life Love Death And The Meter Man Lyrics

He was holding the McCulloch

When he knocked upon her door

Yesterday she
said she didn’t love him anymore

But it wasn’t her who answered

It
was some guy he didn’t know

So he fired up that chainsaw 

and he laid
that sucker low

But when he saw the clipboard lying

in the severed
hand

He realized that he just limbed from limbed

the meter
man

Heard the sirens coming, and he sat

down on the steps

Shut off
his McCulloch and he lit a cigarette

The verdict, it was guilty and they
said

"you’re gonna fry"

He didn’t see her in the back
row,

didn’t hear her cry

All that he could see was the
terrified

face of the meter man

The moment that he sent him packing to
the

promised land

They led him down the hallway,

and the priest
said him a prayer

He wasn’t none too happy,

but he knew that fair was
fair

Still he’d like to thank the meter man,

for coming to the
door

Otherwise his true love would be

lying scattered on the
floor

And as for her, she never loved again,

no not one time

And
though she broke his heart

and led him to this ghastly crime

She prayed
each day they’d be

together on the other side

And she cried herself to
sleep each night until the

day she died
