The Kiss Of The Spiderwoman

作曲 : John Kander

Sooner or later you’re certain to meet

In the bedroom, the parlour 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 curtains will shake and the fire will hiss

Here comes her kiss…

And the moon grows dimmer

At the tide’s low ebb

And her black beads shimmer

And you’re aching to move

But you’re caught in the web

Of the Spiderwoman

In 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

But there’s only one pin that can puncture such bliss

I'm talking 'bout 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

At the tide’s 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…

But you cannot escape!

At the tide’s low ebb

And her black beads shimmer

And you’re aching to move

But you’re caught in the web

Of the Spiderwoman

In her velvet cape

You can scream…

You can run…

You can hide…

But you cannot escape!

you cannot escape!
