Текст песни
The door swung open, the smoke curled red
A vision of trouble stepped out of my head
In a dress of midnight, with seams cut sharp
A walking, talking, heartbreak harp
She slid in the chair like a whispered threat
With a"Hello, Detective" I can't forget
Her eyes held secrets, expensive and deep
Promising treasures a poor man couldn't keep
Oh, the dame with the smile like a knife
She's gonna be the finish of my life
She'll offer you heaven, then sell you the key
To a cell of your own misery
Yeah, the dame with the smile like a knife
You'll thank her for ruining your life
She spun a story of a missing gem
And a man who double-crossed all of them
Her tears were convincing, a perfect art
But I saw the ice water pumping her heart
I took the case, against my own mind
A fool is a fool, and love is blind
But this wasn't love, it was a different disease
A hunger for danger, a need to please
Oh, the dame with the smile like a knife
She's gonna be the finish of my life
She'll offer you heaven, then sell you the key
To a cell of your own misery
Yeah, the dame with the smile like a knife
You'll thank her for ruining your life
Now I'm left holding the bag, see?
The cops are coming, looking for me
The gem was a fake, the husband is dead
And her perfume's the last thing she left in my head
She's halfway to Rio, I'm stuck in the rain
Lesson learned, but the lesson is pain
The dame with the smile.. yeah, you know the type
The dame with the smile.. like a knife.
