Lyrics
he wore his ego like a suit and tie
he had a wife and all the pretty things that money could buy
he had a longing for a love affair
always looking for the thing that wasn't there
he had a bent for self destruction
he had a taste for the obscene
he'd heard the whispers on the wind
he sought her out like a match to gasoline
he wanted more than just an easy lie
he'd heard the rumors she could really blow his mind
he had it all but always wanted more
and she could take him where he'd never been before
that girl
it was a chemical induction
she wore a dress of velvet green
her eyes were clear but her lips were sealed
she spoke like a banshee at the dawn of a mystical dream
she sent him spinning with a lullaby
caught in her web as he was reaching for the sky
so high
oh, her quarry he was far from first
she'd had a hundred more but none could slake her thirst
the curse
it was a process of reduction
stripped soul and body clean
he fell into the trap she set
he thrashed about but he couldn't find the words to scream
he had a longing for a love affair
always dying for the thing that wasn't there
