"Black Widow" lyrics

"Black Widow"

Full metal woman in a thrift store jacket
Runnin' Tulsa to San Antone
Making bad decisions
Don't need no permission
If she wants to get a little stoned
It's crystal clear
That you should be running scared
Oh, but you're standing there
Pretending not to care

She'll seduce the nation
Set their hearts on fire
Push your limitations
Make you walk the mile
If you're prone to temptation
You better not stare
She'll spin you up and spit you out
She'll leave you running scared
She's a black, black widow
She'll leave you running scared
She's a black, ol' black widow

She'll leave you wishing you were superstitious
'Bout that Mother Mary look in her eyes
Should have known better by that little red letter
On her back like a varsity sign
It's crystal clear that you should be running scared
Oh, but you're standing there
Pretending not to care

She'll seduce the nation
Set their hearts on fire
Push your limitations
Make you walk the mile
If you're prone to temptation
You better not stare
She'll spin you up and spit you out
She'll leave you running scared
She's a black, black widow
She'll leave you running scared
She's a black, ol' black widow

Now you know (Now you know)
What you get (What you get)
When you pull on that thread (When you pull on that thread)
Now you know (Now you know)
What you get (What you get)
You've been caught in the web (You've been caught)
She's a black, black widow
She'll leave you running scared
She's a black, ol' black widow
