oh I bled on the bed <br /> from a wound in my head <br /> on the night before I sent this<br /> welling with dread <br /> from the things that were said <br /> in the boardroom that left me defenseless<br /> <br /> and though you weren't there <br /> I could still feel you stare <br /> and your voice it rang cold and contemptuous<br /> so forgive me this morning <br /> if I should fall worn<br /> in the arms of the lethal temptress<br /> <br /> at a nightclub engagement <br /> we sang on the stage<br /> in a voice that broken and tuneless<br /> still it's better to work <br /> than to beg like a jerk <br /> for the kind of things we all find useless<br /> <br /> and hell hath no fury <br /> and dear I'm not worried<br /> I will see to my eternal penance<br /> just one more glass of gin <br /> before I fall back in <br /> to the arms of the lethal temptress<br /> <br /> so you frighten the ghost town <br /> and ground them all down <br /> til one day you'd reach a consensus <br /> and I know from your verse <br /> you put America first <br /> and all others you simply beat senseless <br /> <br /> and worship like this <br /> is to honor the fist <br /> and to conjure what's cruel and licentious <br /> and I don't know what's fair <br /> and I really don't care <br /> in the arms of the lethal temptress<br /> <br /> and I won't place a bet <br /> but I knew when we met <br /> that one day we'd come to regret this <br /> and that what once was love <br /> can turn quickly enough <br /> into something so hard and contemptuous <br /> <br /> and hell hath no fury <br /> and death is no jury <br /> our love's ended before I commence this<br /> but for one final sin<br /> you won't see me again<br /> in the arms of the lethal temptress<br /> <br /> but for one final sin<br /> you won't see me again<br /> in the arms of the lethal temptress
