[Verse 1]
You walk in
Little red sin on your mouth
Flash that smile
Every saint’s headed south
Slow hips
You don’t even need a crown
You just pick a victim out the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “baby
Just one taste”
He leans in
He thinks it’s grace
But your kiss is laced
Is laced
Sweet like cherries on a grave
[Chorus]
You got poison in your lipstick
Dripping when you bite
Turn a heartbeat to a headstone in the pale blue light
He says “love you” while he’s sinking
You just hold him tight
You’re the venom in the velvet
Yeah
You’re dressed in death tonight
[Verse 2]
Gold chain
Hanging like a final prayer
Black lace
Like a web in your hair
Soft laugh
You pretend that you care
While you count the bodies on your chair
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “baby
Just one taste”
He leans in
He thinks it’s grace
But your kiss is laced
Is laced
Sugar-killing every trace
[Chorus]
You got poison in your lipstick
Dripping when you bite
Turn a heartbeat to a headstone in the pale blue light
He says “love you” while he’s sinking
You just hold him tight
You’re the venom in the velvet
Yeah
You’re dressed in death tonight
[Bridge]
Red on his collar
Red on your glass
You never swallow
You just let it pass
Name on a lighter
Name on a list
Every last promise
Buried in your kiss (oh)
[Chorus]
You got poison in your lipstick
Dripping when you bite
Turn a heartbeat to a headstone in the pale blue light
He says “love you” while he’s sinking
You just hold him tight
You’re the venom in the velvet
Yeah
You’re dressed in death tonight
