The Spider Den

One day a snake fell in love
Bit by a handsome snake-eating dove
Above me they spun
Floating on air and light as the sun

They danced the night away
Spinning like they never danced before
Falling like a stone into my arms
I could have sworn that's what I'm living for
Bound by a thread, they whispered
Don't think of leaving, I'm all that you have
And when the drinks run dry
Who else can make you feel so damn alive?

I felt the poison coursing through my veins
You want the lies I tell that make you insane
I'm running wild just trying to get away
Inside your spider den, you'll make me your prey

One day a spider fell in love
With a terrible mendacious snake
They saw the world like one giant game
A queen on a board they could take

But I see those eyes
And I like the chase
I want to feel the fangs
Brushing up against my face
And when we're done and
Chills run up your spine
I want to say I won cause
Checkmate, you're mine

I felt the poison coursing through my veins
You want the lies I tell that make you insane
You're running wild just trying to get away
Inside my spider den, I'll make you my prey

We're not bound by rules or what they say about us
No one's seen a love so sinfully deep and pious
What's for me to gain from these emotions
All I need is your total devotion

I felt the poison coursing through my veins
You want the lies I tell that make you insane
I'm running wild just trying to get away
Inside my spider den, I'll make you my prey
