Verse 1.
Deep sea diver
swims in the water.
The tank on his back
has no air.
Conserves every bubble.
He knows he's in trouble.
If only he'd remembered
to carry a spare.
Chorus.
The Risk-Taker's Wife
spends most of her life
in thought, deep thought
with little appetite.
Won't sleep till you're home.
Bites her nails when you're gone.
She loves you in spite,
in spite of her fright.
Verse 2.
Steep rock climber
hangs on the mountain.
The rope in his hands
has no grip.
Observes every inch
of the rope as it slips.
If only he had packed a chute
for this trip.
Chorus.
The Risk-Taker's Wife
bought a burial site.
In case, just in case
you're to never reunite.
Keeps your WILL in a file.
Has the morgue on speed dial.
She waits and waits
for the day that you fail.
Verse 3.
Weekly stock buyer
hides in his office.
His pick for the day
has left him poor.
Curses the losses.
Explains to his bosses
why the stock fell below,
far below what it costed.
Chorus.
The Risk-Taker's Wife
has a pre-arranged flight
to a place, a far place
out of your sight.
She saw a lawyer last June.
He said he'd win her the moon,
in a fight, legal fight
to defend all her rights.
Verse 4.
Creepy two-timer
awakes in a bed.
His condom lies wet
on the floor.
Deserves a cruel outcome,
says the man with the shotgun.
He is dead before reaching
the door.
Chorus.
The Risk-Taker's Wife
has another new life
with a man, a good man
gentle and polite.
She has two healthy boys.
Named them Henry and Roy.
Her future now bright
in spite of her plight.
