My love, my love, you're the sting of the scorpion |
|
Consider, now, the angels, a little lower than you |
|
And they twist and they turn, and they hold their breath 'til it's blue |
|
And they can't turn away like |
|
I can, when you're lookin' like you do |
|
Looky Black |
|
Betty, what they're tying to you |
|
You did the very thing, baby, that |
|
I asked you not to do |
|
And now you got yourself caught in the silk spiderweb |
|
I hope the money fills the holes, can see the roof is caving in |
|
My heart, my heart, you're the moon and her shining light |
|
Darkness and void of form, like you were keeping me alive |
|
And I've been dreaming of poisonings from the venom of my enemies |
|
Clever as the viper, dear, but gentle as a stampede of stones |
|
Looky Black |
|
Betty, what they're tying to you |
|
You did the very thing, baby, that |
|
I asked you not to do |
|
Now you got yourself caught in the silk spiderweb |
|
I hope the money fills the holes, can see the roof is caving in |
|
And they want you to doubt every trust that you've known |
|
And they wanna find the holes in the armor exposed |
|
And they come on whispering, |
|
If you just do this for me... |
|
And turn and show their teeth just before they're sinking in |
|
And better than described and deeper the decent |
|
I never thought we'd have to learn to doubt our friends |
|
And better than described, so much deeper the decent |
|
I never thought we'd have to learn to doubt our friends |
|
Looky Black |
|
Betty, what they're tying to you |
|
You did the very thing, baby, that |
|
I asked you not to do |
|
Now you got yourself caught in the silk spiderweb |
|
I hope the money fills the holes, can see the roof is caving in |
|
Looky Black |
|
Betty, what they're tying to you |
|
You did the very thing, baby, that |
|
I asked you not to do |
|
Now you got yourself caught in the silk spiderweb |
|
I hope the money fills the holes in the place |
|
I used to stand |
