Black widows web

(Verse 1)

She moves in silence, packing up the life

Says she needs a fresh start, wants to be a wife

Leaves the house in shambles, takes the baby’s bed

Spinning up a story inside her pretty head

She crossed the river line, headed for the east

Looking for a savior to feed the starving beast

Left me with a broken truck, thought I was the fool

But I was just the practice run, I was just the tool.

(Chorus)

Oh, she’s a Black Widow, painted in red

She’ll kiss you on the lips while she spins the thread

She collects the badges, she collects the cash

Leaves a trail of bodies in the burning ash

Watch out, Lieutenant, she’s coming for your town

She doesn’t want your love, boy, she wants to take you down

Yeah, she’s a Black Widow, and the web is tight

But the lights are coming on this Monday night.

(Verse 2)

She cleared the credit cards, ninety-five hundred flat

Where’d you get the money for a move like that?

Playing poor in public, crying to the judge

But I can see the bank notes, I can see the grudge.

Now she’s got a new host, shining up his shield

Thinks he’s got a trophy from the battlefield

But he don’t know the history, he don’t know the cost

He’s just another soldier about to get lost.

(Chorus)

Oh, she’s a Black Widow, painted in red

She’ll kiss you on the lips while she spins the thread

She collects the badges, she collects the cash

Leaves a trail of bodies in the burning ash

Watch out, Lieutenant, she’s coming for your town

She doesn’t want your love, boy, she wants to take you down

Yeah, she’s a Black Widow, and the web is tight

But the lights are coming on this Monday night.

(Bridge)

I played the broken man, I played the rusting part

Told her I was grounded, told her I lost heart

She thinks the prey is dead, she thinks the coast is clear

She doesn’t see the shadow in the rearview mirror.

I’m coming with the paper, I’m coming with the law

I’m gonna break the pattern, I’m gonna break the jaw

Of this little trap she built...

(Guitar Solo - Screaming and Chaotic)

(Outro)

Spin your web, baby, spin it fast

‘Cause this little victim is gonna be your last.

I’ve got the files.

I’ve got the truth.

And Monday morning...

I’m cutting the thread.

(Fade out on a heavy bass riff)

“Watch your back, Lieutenant...”
