lyrics

There's something creeping on the stair
Suddenly appeared out of nowhere
Something with little red eyes
Could it be you in disguise?

You caught me in your web
I fell through your trap door
You stun me with your venom
But I keep coming back for more

Black Widow, you poison my mind
Black Widow, I'm running out of time
It's all part of your hourglass design

It started out as love, my dear
Then your true intentions became clear
Passion gave way to paralysis
Now I see you're my worst nemesis

You caught me in your web
I fell through your trap door
You stun me with your venom
But I keep coming back for more

Black Widow, you poison my mind
Black Widow, I'm running out of time
It's all part of your hourglass design

Much to my surprise
Maybe I've fantasized
About being anesthetized
By the love in your lies

You caught me in your web
I fell through your trap door
You stun me with your venom
But I keep coming back for more

Black Widow, you poison my mind
Black Widow, I'm running out of time
It's all part of your hourglass design
