about

Here is something a little different; a blues-rock song with hints of reggae. The story? Well, it's an imagining of what may have happened to a girl Christopher L. Istace used to know in high school and an exaggeration of a woman Robert Smith spent time with in Britain.

lyrics

Black hair, green eyes
Long legs, A last-call surprise
She don’t sleep much at night
Drowning herself by a dim, red light
Beauty is the beast in thick disguise

Jack and coke, King-sized smokes
Still attracts the high-class blokes
They’ll always pay her way
A simple smile is her smoothest play
Her use of the word “love” is just a hoax

CHORUS
She’s got everything to flaunt
She’ll stalk her prey and play her part
Lure you in, take what she wants
Beware the contents of her heart

Her life’s a lie, A well-played con
She’s got them moves to any song
Once she has you in her grasp
You’ll do anything that she asks
But she’ll disappear when the money’s gone

Some day, In some way
A wrong move will seal her fate
They’ll find her dead in a motel room
A pale white face in the red light’s gloom
No one there to mourn her soul away

CHORUS
CHORUS
