Lady in red
You watch as she sucks on a lollipop
Her lips are stained cherry red
Her looks could make you wish you were dead
She's unreal, like a siren from a foggy dream
When she laughs her perfect white teeth gleam
You could never guess someone so beautiful is so mean
A devil in angel's skin
You wish you were her or with her
but you're neither
She takes a sip of her drink and sets it down
Her red coffin-shaped nails drum against the glass
She smiles at you, and you wonder if she'd ever give you a chance
The thought flashes through your mind like lightning, too quick to make it seem meaningful
She leans closer and whispers something obscene
It's just a trick
She likes to see how much it takes for you to get flustered
She should come with a warning
Don't touch
Don't look
She's cursed
Her lips are stained cherry red
Her looks could make you wish you were dead
She's unreal, like a siren from a foggy dream
When she laughs her perfect white teeth gleam
You could never guess someone so beautiful is so mean
A devil in angel's skin
You wish you were her or with her
but you're neither
She takes a sip of her drink and sets it down
Her red coffin-shaped nails drum against the glass
She smiles at you, and you wonder if she'd ever give you a chance
The thought flashes through your mind like lightning, too quick to make it seem meaningful
She leans closer and whispers something obscene
It's just a trick
She likes to see how much it takes for you to get flustered
She should come with a warning
Don't touch
Don't look
She's cursed
