Black Betty & The Moon

Verse 1: My love, my love, you're the sting of the scorpion Consider, now, the angels, a little lower than you And they twist and they turn, and they hold their breath 'til it's blue And they can't turn away like I can't, when you're lookin' like you do Pre-chorus: Well looky Black Betty, what they tying to you You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in Verse 2: My heart, my heart, you're the moon and her shining light Darkness in void of form, like you were keeping me alive And I've been dreaming of poisonings from the venom of my enemies Clever as the viper dear, but gentle as a stampede of stones Pre-chorus: Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in And they want you to doubt every trust that you've known And they wanna find the holes in the armor exposed And they come on whispering, If you just do this for me... And turn and show their teeth just before they're sinking in And better than described and deeper the descent I never thought we'd have to learn to doubt our friends And better than described, so much deeper the descent I never thought we'd have to learn to doubt our friends Outro: Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web I hope the money fills the holes in the place I used to stand
