Dressed to kill
The spiderwoman violates her prey
Gossamer and ash exact sweet rapture of decay
Dextrous this vender of arachnid distemper
Janus-faced her brash embrace
Yet unmatched in her splendour

Her bite is one long kiss goodnight
Tomorrows notwithstanding
The sorrows of her quarry
She no less than has a hand in
The hollows of her eyes delight the very flies she bids affright
Coals exposing blackest night
Never one time dappled light
Sat astride her victim
The tangled web she weaves then twists
To bind the wrists while priming lips
For one long kiss goodnight

Dressed to kill
The spiderwoman has me in her sights
Feel her toxins coursing through my veins and this delights
Tangled in her web
Intrigued to see my own demise
Drown my every sorrow in the hollows of her eyes
.
Yearning one long kiss goodnight
Forevermore I’m spun
(Forevermore I’m spun)
Just to taste her lips
I’m well prepared to come undone
(Spun)
Gossamer and ash declared
In rapture of decay ensnared
Captured in her black silk lair
I writhe and ache to face despair
Of impending fate aware
Yet I wear not affright
Would freely die ten thousand times
For one long kiss goodnight
Would freely die ten thousand times
For one long kiss goodnight
.
One long kiss goodnight
One long kiss goodnight
(Spun)
Would freely die
Would freely die
Ten thousand times
Ten thousand times
Would freely die
Ten thousand times
For one long kiss goodnight
.
Surviving defendant denied of life sentence
Need nowise be tied to such writhing impairment
Provided her sizeable hunger is quenched
Prior to bleeding me dry
I would die once again as I have many times
Should she grant me release from this perished mortal life
Rise willing to forego every day for its night
Take her hand into mine as we build an empire
So below as above to the towering spire
If only to gratify last breath defying bite

Her mesmerising gaze beguiles
And all the while her smile spellbinds

Calming all distress arising
Blessèd be her energising curse
