She speaks in tongues
When she speaks of love
She is drunk on wine and lust

For you she sings
Red lips on fire
Eyes that shine like glass

But just as you desire her,
Crave her,
Ache for her,
You fear her
Dark and unrelenting as she is

Cowering, you run
Red lips turn pale
Eyes lose their glossy sheen

It is you, not she
Speaking in tongues
Drunk on wine and lust
