text: This is the story of Melody Nelson
  Apart from me, no one
  Ever took her in his arms
  Under her thumb, ice in the sun
  She was nothing but love, poor Melody Nelson
  Her life was more said than done
  But her days were numbered nil
  Count fourteen falls
  Fifteen on call
  A baby tiger was Melody Nelson
  Forever purring in the sun
  Just as dangerous as a child with a gun
  Shooting me down
  Oh my Melody, my Melody Nelson
  Still playing hurting garnes for fun
  As adorable as dumb
  Deaf to the sound
  To what’s going down
