Jezebel

Born to dance
In smoky lounges
She did what she could to survive
And men stared hypnotized

Promised fame and fortune
Betrayed at every turn
Her world got turned upside down

More dangerous than a loaded gun
Over at the bar staring into the mirror
That’s where you’ll find her
Like a spider in a web she waits for her prey

Chorus

Jezebel
You should have asked Delilah
Green eyes never tell lies
Unless the owner is careless
Jezebel
Someone should have told her
To read the bible
And stay out of trouble

She had vices, she loved the casinos
And just like the coke that she does
In the blink of an eye
She can enslave you in her love

Promises of ecstasy
Wait at every turn
To turn your life upside down

Just like the barbed wire tattoos on both her arms
She’ll snare you in her embrace
She won’t show mercy
Then she’ll leave without a trace

Bridge
Like a dream from the silver screen
Who knows what might have been
If she never answered the knock at the door
Now she lies on the floor
Never to breathe no more
