true said to have only have one good song not true!

I fell in love with them based on Rat Trap and Like Clockwork but this song always stuck with me. In college I did a video project roughly based on it and years later I read about a couple from my high school who took a similar route out of life. Ironic, scary, and melodramatic. Actually saw them in LA at the Califfornia World Music Festival in the coliseum when they opened at a show which was headlined by Van Halen and Aerosmith. needless to say, they were booed and chastised as 'punks'.

I had no idea what this song was about until not too long ago.

Kind of gruesome to tell you the truth.
