[Verse 1]
Lipstick like a loaded gun
Poison cherry on her tongue
Little laugh
Sharpened teeth
Says my name
Cuts me deep
Velvet dress
Funeral black
Silk disguise
Never slack
Every word
A silver thread
Pull too hard
End up dead
[Chorus]
She’s my black widow
Slow kiss
Quick goodbye (hey!)
Spins a dark halo
Round my foolish pride
One touch
I’m tangled
Begging just to bleed
Black widow
And I’m crawling to her feet
[Verse 2]
Perfume like a burning rose
Sweet and sick
In my nose
Every promise
Pretty lie
Wrapped around my restless mind
Midnight in her hungry eyes
Sees through every cheap disguise
Says “come closer
Don’t be scared”
Next thing
I’m gasping for air
[Chorus]
She’s my black widow
Slow kiss
Quick goodbye (oh!)
Spins a dark halo
Round my foolish pride
One touch
I’m tangled
Begging just to bleed
Black widow
And I’m crawling to her feet
[Bridge]
Eight ways she can break me
Eight scars on my soul
I keep walking to the web
Like I don’t already know
[Chorus]
She’s my black widow
Slow kiss
Quick goodbye
Spins a dark halo
Round my foolish pride
One touch
I’m tangled
Praying she won’t leave
Black widow
Still I crawl back to her feet (yeah)
Black widow
She’s the last thing that I need
