femme fatale Lyrics

Smoking a cigarette

Head bent back

Over the balcony

A complete degenerate

Who rejects

Propriety

All her scandals and affairs

They're there

For everyone else to see

Making up for lost time

Since she turned nineteen

Corset clings to her so tight

As she's

Getting the eyes of all her passersby

Every night

So this is what you're stuck with

Didn't someone warn you

"She's a mythic bitch"

A myriad of men trail in her wake

She's a femme fatale

But you signed up for this

Early men from ancient centuries

Declared women

The root of all disease

The face that launched a thousand ships

From Sparta to her lover, Paris

Guess she's the Helen of Troy

Reincarnate

Thought you'd rid her of these sins

Thought that you would be different

But instead

This is what you're stuck with

Didn't someone warn you

"She's a mythic bitch"

A myriad of men trail in her wake

She's a femme fatale

But you signed up for this

New age courtesan

Fate writ by Dumas

Leave you to cry out

Is this really what you want

To end up so Cleopatric

Make men into fanatics

No, it's all just a defensive tactic

So this is what you're stuck with

Didn't someone warn you

I'm a "mythic bitch"

A myriad of men trail in my wake

I'm a femme fatale

But you signed up for this

I'm a femme fatale

And you've only got yourself

To blame
