The Kiss Of The Spider Woman (Kiss of the Spider Woman)

Marta, where are you?

Marta, I need you

Marta, don't leave me now

Don't let me go crazy

Sooner or later you're certain to meet

In the bedroom, the parlor or even the street

There's no place on earth you're likely to miss

Her kiss

Sooner or later in sunlight or gloom

When the red candles flicker she'll walk in the room

And the curtain will shake and the fire will hiss

Here comes her kiss

And the moon grows dimmer

And the tides low ebb

And her black beads shimmer

And you're aching to move

But you're caught in the web

Of the spiderwoman

With her velvet cape

You can scream

But you cannot escape

Sooner or later your love will arrive

And she touches your heart, you're alert and alive

And there's only one pin that can puncture such bliss

Her kiss

Sooner or later you bathe in success

And your minions salute, they say nothing but yes

But your power is empty, it fades like the mist

Once you've been kissed

And the moon grows dimmer

And the tides low ebb

And your breath comes faster

And you're aching to move

But you're caught in the web

Of the spiderwoman

In her velvet cape

You can run

You can scream

You can hide

But you cannot escape
