A marriage made in heaven that rapidly deteriorates. Both parties "lawyer-up" and the fight is on.

Husband and wife break-up and head to divorce court both paying through the nose for their attorneys. It's the war of the roses and the only ones coming out on top are the hired guns.

Lyrics
LOOK OUT BELOW
Exchanged their vows
Til death do us part
Bowed to the crowd
As two loving hearts
But the love ran cold
The hearts grew hard
She told him she was folding
He said I'm holding the same cards
LOOK OUT BELOW
The sky is falling
It's a he said she said
Backstabbing rodeo
Friends taking sides
Family breaking ties
The sky is falling
LOOK OUT BELOW
Trot out their lawyers
Take off the gloves
Battle like warriors
For what once was
War of the roses
Texting thorny threats
Paying through their noses
To be the other's ex
Chorus Repeats
Musical/Lyrical Bridge
Attorneys are calling
To the ring of cha ching
Pick your pockets
Leave you shattered dreams
Court sells the house
Divies up the money
They double down on spouses
It's the second coming
Chorus Repeats
