Lyrics The Lady Lies - Live - Genesis

The man steps out in the moonlight
At the sound of a scream from below
Well, he thinks she is a warrior
So, he picks up his sword and goes

From the mouth of the monster
He rescues the maiden fair
How do we know she's a demon
Come to lure him to demon's lair

Through restless foliage and tall trees, he leads
To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home (ha)

Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like

And though his body bids him
To enter in with her
There was something in her manner
That his mind could not ignore

Also, it is whispered in the kingdom far and wide
To beware, a little cottage in the forest in a glade

For who knows what magic takes place in his world
So, he just thanks her kindly, preparing to go on his way

Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after, uh, yeah-yeah if you like

Come (now-now) come to my garden
Taste the fruits and the spices of love
You no-no-no, you won't resist me
Because I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of

So glad you could make it
We had everything arranged
So glad you saw fit to pay a call

Some men never listen
Others they never learn
But this man did as he did
Only he will ever know

He knew he was walking into a waiting trap
So neatly set up for him with a bait so richly wrapped
So, he went inside there to take on what he found
He never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires

Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after, yeah-yeah-yeah, if you like, ah!
