The Devil Wears A Dress

"The Devil Wears A Dress"
2012

Inside some hole in the wall
I'm neck deep inside a mess
'Cause I mistook an angel for
The devil that's in a dress
So tight it could suffocate
And it's redder than devil skin
Lord, I tried to look away
But I just had to look again
Once said I wanted to see her horns
But forgot a rose has got her thorns
So now her poison is in my vein
And I'm losing her favorite game
Oh, my friend you will not believe
I'm an Adam without an Eve
'Cause Lilith is in my view
So what is a man to do
Should I just turn and run
And hope that night is done
Knowing I'll never near the door
'Cause I got what I'm asking for
There's evil inside her smile
I detect it beneath her lips
Now lipstick is on the glass
From which she slowly sips
And she's locking her eyes on me
I'm like a young deer in lights
So it's really not hard to see
How I'm spending my lonely nights
Said I wanted to see her horns
But forgot a rose has got her thorns
So now her poison is in my vein
And I'm losing her favorite game
Oh, my friend you will not believe
I'm an Adam without an Eve
'Cause Lilith is in my view
So what is a man to do
Should I just turn and run
And hope that night is done
Knowing I'll never near the door
'Cause I got what I'm asking for
You must be careful with a wish
For it can never be withdrawn
And while searching for a queen
I've moved squarely as a pawn
And for a woman such as her
The chase is now the king
So everything I'd like to do
Will never mean a thing
'Cause to her a compliment
Is just a sugar-coated bore
So now my knees are making love
To this god-forsaken floor
And I'm looking up at her
Wondering what's in my drink
While the world is turning gray
Just as fast as I can blink
Then she whispers in my ear
Five words and then a kiss
And her words were ringing clear
"Baby, you couldn't handle this"
Said I wanted to see her horns
But forgot a rose has got her thorns
So now her poison is in my vein
And I'm losing her favorite game
Oh, my friend you will not believe
I'm an Adam without an Eve
'Cause Lilith is in my view
So what is a man to do
Should I just turn and run
And hope that night is done
Knowing I'll never near the door
'Cause I got what I'm asking for
Her dress was redder than the blood
Spilled from many broken hearts
That she left in her wake
After she tore their worlds apart
And I'm just the latest fool
Who thought he was the best
But it's here I lay in love
In a pile of pieces like the rest
So if you see her run
Don't be tempted by the smile
'Cause it will spark your pride
And just inflate your guile
And if you touch her skin
You won't be seen again
Unless it's in the Hell
The rest of us are living in...
