Lyrics
She's wearing silk stockings?
a black Chanel dress
?her prey she is stalking
She's rather obsessed.
??Each word from her luscious red lips?
are sown with deceit ?I should come to grips?
with my own impending defeat.??
What she desires won't be denied
?there's no (resisting), though God knows I've tried!
?Her arms surround me, I'm in the abyss?
her lips are quite deadly, a venomous kiss!
??Her walk is hypnotic
?it swings side to side.?
It's like a narcotic
?down deeper I slide.
?Some would say that we're wicked
?the way we're living a lie.?
Our clandestine passion
?there's no greater high!??
What she desires won't be denied?
there's no resisting though God knows I've tried!
?Her arms surround me, I'm in the abyss?
her lips are quite deadly, a venomous kiss!
She gets what she needs
by pulling your heart strings
until your heart bleeds
then she leaves you without anything
she has me confounded
i've lost my free will
i'm still astounded
she hasn't gone for the kill
What she desires won't be denied?
there's no resisting though God knows I've tried!
?Her arms surround me, I'm in the abyss?
her lips are quite deadly, a venomous kiss
What she desires won't be denied?
there's no resisting though God knows I've tried!
?Her arms surround me, I'm in the abyss?
her lips are quite deadly, a venomous kiss
