This Deadly Game

Polly said to Jack,
"Baby I like your style.
Would you step into my office
For a little while?
I've got a sugar-coated web
And a candy center"
I said "To know her
Is to defend her."
Oh, it's all or nothing
Queen of diamonds
And a second cousin
Come in, sign your name
For this deadly game

Babylon was
Draped in haze
And nobody
Had seen the night in days
She was dancing in a room
In a violet sweater
I said, "To know her
Is to regret her"
Oh, it's now or never
Don't think of me whenever
Someone has to take the blame
For this deadly game

Daddy won't be home
Until a little later
And he'll be looking
For his little instigator
Take whatever
Means are handy
To know me
Is to understand me
Oh, it's not that easy
Immaculate but a little greasy
Sometimes they're not the same
In this deadly game

Polly said to Jack,
"Baby, I like your style
Would you step over here
For a little while?"
I said,
"I'll see you later."
To know her
Is to hate her
Oh, it's time for action
A pile of words and a cool retraction
No time for shame
In this deadly game
