Lethal Temptress by The Mendoza Line
Lethal Temptress
A
Oh I bled on the bed
D
from a wound in my head
A E
on the night before I sent this
A
welling with dread
D
from the things that were said
A E
in the boardroom that left me defenseless.
Bm
And though you weren't there
A
I could still feel you stare
E
and your voice it rang cold and contemptuous.
A
So forgive me this morning
D
if I should fall worn
A E A
in the arms of the lethal temptress.
A
At a nightclub engagement
D
you sang on the stage
A E
in a voice that was broken and tuneless;
A
still it's better to work
D
than to beg like a jerk
A E
for the kinds of things we all find useless.
Bm
And Hell hath no fury
A
and dear I'm not worried.
E
I will see to my eternal penance.
A
Just one more glass of gin
D
before I crawl back in
A E A
to the arms of the lethal temptress.
A
So you frighten the ghost town
D
and ground them all down,
A E
til one day you'd reach a consensus.
A
And I know from your verse
D
you put America the first
A E
and all others you simply beat senseless.
Bm
And to worship like this
A
is to honour the fist
E
and to conjure what's cruel and licentious.
A
And I don't know what's fair
D
and I really don't care
A E A
in the arms of the lethal temptress.
A
And I won't place a bet
D
but I knew when we met
A E
that one day we'd come to regret this.
A D
And that what once was love can turn quickly enough
A E
into something so hard and contemptuous.
Bm
And Hell hath no fury
A
and Death is no jury
E
our love's ended before I commence this
A
but for one final sin
D
you won't see me again
A E A
in the arms of the lethal temptress.
A
But for one final sin
D
you won't see me again
A E A
in the arms of the lethal temptress.
