She Devil - Previously Unissued Outake from Ophelia Recording Session

Look out, she's coming at you
Big dark eyes like Cleopatra
The eyes of a femme fatale
Bet you get the ominous feeling
A cold-blooded creature in the dark
is stealing toward you
You'd best beware
Take care

She's better than a work of fiction
Half ingénue, half a vixen
Your little paper doll
But brother, she's a wicked sister
Subtle and sly, watch it mister
And take my advice
Stay away
or number your own days

Opiate clouds surround you
An addiction to love has found you out
Half out of your mind
Fool, when I think about you
I wanna wrap my arms around you
And tell you more
than words can say

She devil, she conquer
She devil, you want her
You're unaware
tonight
of the danger everywhere

My poor little sleeping giant
Dreaming warm and silent
Where has your Delilah gone?
Why don't you wake and see through
every way that she's deceived you;
how she moves within?

See, everything the woman touches
It withers and dies in her clutches
Why should your fate be
any different from these?
Uh, well I've heard about you
Every word that's said about you
The man in the silvery web
He fell for the sweet persuasion
of a black widow spider
now nothing can save him, and
it's just a matter of time

She devil, she conquer
She devil, you want her
You're unaware
tonight
of the danger everywhere

She devil, she conquer
She devil, you want her
You're well aware
tonight
of the danger everywhere
but you don't care
