Lyrics
Way back in ancient Egypt
In the land of pyramids
Lived an evil woman the Queen of the Nile
Who did the devils bids
Oh Sweet Phoenician Princess
The subject of desire
She?s going to lead her man
to the promised land
In to forbidden fires
Of Jezebel
Jezebel
She was a dark hair beauty
Skin silky smooth
With eyes of emerald green
She?ll sneak in your world
In the middle of the night
Like stranger?s in a dream
Some say her spirit wanders
Looking for souls to claim
She?ll lead you like the piper
A victim of the name ???of Jezebel
Jezebel
You know the story well
She leads a man to hell
Cause she?s has a soul to sell
You?ve fallen in the spell
Of Jezebel
Jezebel
His wife of seven years
Back home in Washington
She was the perfect woman
The light of his eyes
The mother of his son
They married in the Seattle
The year they finished school
built them a house
on a quiet street
Now she feels like such a fool
She is a blond hair beauty
And her legs were long
With eyes of blatant blue
the man of her dreams
is going to break her heart
Before the night is through
She knows there something missing
knows there something wrong
and it?s another woman she?s come to realize
that?s kept him gone so long
Jezebel
Jezebel
You know the story well
She leads a man to hell
Cause she?s has a soul to sell
You?ve fallen in the spell
Of Jezebel
Jezebel
In a motel in the city
with a woman not his own
He would pay a heavy price a total sacrifice
for the seeds that he had sown
Cause the husband of his lover
had bought himself a gun
and he sent her man
to the promised land
his life on earth is done
Jezebel
Jezebel
You know the story well
She leads a man to hell
Cause she?s has a soul to sell
You?ve fallen in the spell
Of Jezebel
Jezebel
