"Black Widow" lyrics
Black Widow Nanci Hobson April 30 2011
I cut myself the other day
Yea…Cut wide open on things you say
I bandaged it …. now you can’t tell…
it’s still bleeding …. it hurts like hell
full moon rising … mackerel sky…
Southwest wind blowing cold tonight
black cloud ….I know it well….
Chorus:
Strut your skull and crossbones
As long as you don’t bring it home..
I’ll turn my cheek once, but not twice…
I learned my lesson long ago…
Learned real good from a black widow
you’re gonna hang around here…
You’d better be nice.
You think …you got me good tonight…
Pull those strings…pull them tight…
I’ll tell you now … I don’t like pain
When I get some….. I give it back again…
You got jingle… you’re lookin’ tall …
But I won’t be your voodoo doll…
You got the wrong girl….for the wrong game….
(repeat chorus)
open door…. broken light
Shadows dark…no more cry…
Promises… all undone
Minutes die… one by one
Pick it up …cold as ice
There is no… sacrifice
Nothing left… so what I gain
Is everything
Is everything…..
Is everything…..
I learned my lesson long ago
Learned real good from a black widow
You’re gonna hang around here….
You’d better be nice.
