Theme
A heavy-handed condemnation of a destructive woman, the **'Home wrecker'**. The lyrics use intense metaphors like 'Poison ivy in your touch' and 'Deadly venom in your kiss' to describe a person who brings inevitable ruin to every aspect of the narrator's life, implying a relationship that is fundamentally toxic and disastrous.
Lyrics
It doesn’t matter what car you drive, she’ll **wreck it**
It doesn’t matter where you sleep at night, she’ll **wreck it**
It doesn’t matter where you go to work
Doesn’t matter where you go to church
Doesn’t matter just bad it hurts, she’ll **wreck it**
My **bleached bones in the desert**, it’s all that’s left of me
**Poison ivy in your touch**, being with you destroyed so much
**Home wrecker**
**Deadly venom in your kiss**, **hell can’t be worse than this**
**Home wrecker**
It doesn’t matter what you pretend, she’ll **wreck it**
It doesn’t matter what you defend, she’ll **wreck it**
It doesn’t matter how you live your life
Doesn’t matter anymore to your **wife**
Doesn’t matter even how you die, she’ll **wreck that too**
Like a **vulture picking my bones clean**, it’s all that’s left of me
**Poison ivy in your touch**, being with you destroyed so much
**Home wrecker**
**Deadly venom in your kiss**, **hell can’t be worse than this**
**Home wrecker**.
