She didn’t walk in, she glided across the floor
Like smoke under a cracked filled door
She wore midnight velvet, tight against the skin
I saw the danger, but i let her come in
She spoke in whispers, soft as spun silk
With a smile like honey. And skin like milk
But i didn’t see the shadows stretching up the wall
I didn’t know i was standing in the center of a fall.
Oh, black widow, weaving up your lace
You got a killers body and an angel’s face
One kiss is poison, two kisses kill
If the fall doesn’t break you, honey. The venom will
Yeah, she loves you till you’re hollow, leaves you for dead
With a red hourglass hanging over your head
I was the fly buzzing round her cherry wine
Thinking that her hunger was a romantic sign
She wrapped me up in promises sticky and sweet
Till i could move my hands could move my feet
I felt the sting, sharp and cold on my neck
Now I’m just another ruin in the heavy wreckage
She drained the color right out of my eyes
While she was humming a lullaby of beautiful lies
Oh, black widow, weaving up your lace
You got a killers body and an angels face
One kiss is poison, two kisses kill
If the fall doesn’t break you, honey, the venom will
Yeah, she loves you till your hollow, leaves you for dead
With a red hourglass hanging over your head
She don’t need a reason , she don’t need a why
It’s just her nature to watch the livers die
She’s got a graveyard buried underneath her bed
And a collection of hearts hanging by a thread
Now im just a shell sitting here in the dark
Nursing the numbness, rubbing the mark
So if you see her coming , man, you better run
Don’t look at the beauty , don’t look at the fun
Because once you’re tangled there’s no breaking loose
She turns a wedding band into a hangman’s noose
Oh black widow, weaving up your lace
You got a killers body and an angels face
One kiss is poison , two kisses kill
If the fall doesn’t break you honey the venom will
Yeah, she loves you till you’re hollow
Leaves you for dead
With a red hourglass hanging over your head
She’s spinning
She’s spinning
Watch out for the red
Watch out for the red
