(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...”
