Kiss Of The Spiderwoman

Kiss Of The Spiderwoman (from the musical KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN) - Various Artists

Written by：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 web

And her black beads shimmer

And you're aching to move but you're caught in the web

Of the spider woman 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

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 mist

Once you've been kissed

And the moon grows dimmer

At the tide's low web

And your breath comes faster

And you're aching to move but you're caught in the web

Of the spider woman in her velvet cape

You can run you can scream you can hide

But you cannot escape
