Kiss of the Spiderwoman Songtext

von John Owen-Jones

Sooner or later you're certain to meet
In the bedroom, the parlour, or even the street
There's no place on Earth you're likely to miss
Her kiss

Sooner or later, in sunlight or gloom
When the red candles flicker she'll walk in the room
And the curtains will shake, and the fire will hiss
Here comes her kiss!

And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And her black beads shimmer
And you're aching to move but you're caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman, in her velvet cape
You can scream, but you cannot escape!

Sooner or later your love will arrive
And she touches your heart; you're alert and alive
But there's only one pin that can puncture such bliss
Her kiss!

Sooner or later, you bathe in success
And your minions salute, they say nothing but "yes!"
But your power is empty, it fades like the mist
Once you've been kissed

And the moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And your breath comes faster
And you're aching to move but you're caught in the web
Of the Spider Woman, with her velvet cape
You can run, you can scream, you can hide...
But you cannot escape!
