To see her face will paralyze your mind A voice like the chord you can never find
She directs and you forget your lines
The ones you had rehearsed a thousand times
What She had was just a terrifying beauty
Diabolic blessing or heaven’s curse
Where she glides her flames will leave you frozen
Looks that turn to stone or even worse
Her earrings a pair of black widow spiders
The hourglass a telling bit of art
Her tiny red dress cut at that angle
That runs straight from her thigh right through your heart
What she had was just a terrifying beauty
You can neither look away or ever touch
The darkness of her eyes that look right through you
The sadness of eyes that see too much
Her mouth, your mouth, you search for words to say
When she breathes she takes your breath away
She directs and you just play your role
So near now that she inhales your soul
What she had was just a terrifying beauty
Something you can borrow but not own
You can stay with her tonight until tomorrow
But in the end you'll both be still alone
What she had was just a terrifying beauty
Diabolic blessing or heaven's curse
When she walked in you wondered why she came here
That is, why is she with us here on earth
