It's 103 in the shade today
Even hotter in her car that stalled
Bad situation that must've been staged
Patty's burnt written on the wall

She tried to make it all work out
She's the one who took the fall
She thought that he could change no doubt
Patty's burnt written right there on the wall

CHORUS:
Was she burnt by the heat?
Was that the call?
Was she misunderstood?
Did their relationship get out of hand?
Did they do all they could?

Even when it cooled off that night
And she had no one to call on her telephone
Heat waves still in her sight
Patty's burnt written on the wall

CHORUS:

I can't help wonder who it could be
That owned the hand that scrawled
The epitaph - a legacy
Patty's burnt, it's on that wall
For all to see

CHORUS:
