Lyrics

Melody Lee, a broken man and a broken dream It must have been a change of heart Your life was cruel, they called it art Melody Lee, you need a nuke to set you free You know you can't cheat tomorrow If you hide any sorrow Melody Lee, you gotta find your secret enemy You're on the run with nowhere to go If you die, someone to know Forget your heart, you need not stay A second longer than today Melody Lee, a broken man and a broken dream It must have been a change of heart Your life was cruel, they called it art
