Slick red nails
and a black shirt
A hole in the heart
Is where it hurts
If you show me yours
Then I'll show you mine
Come on now baby
It's time to shine

Fiery lips
Teeth and sin
Hot words fly
And break the skin
Lose control
You came to win
But that's not what happens
In the end

Long dark nights
And an empty soul
Madness has a price
Now pay the toll
Laugh like a queen
Feeling like a clown
Nowhere to go
But you're going down

Slick red nails
Dragging in the dirt
A hole in the heart
Is where it hurts
Time will tell
Yet it's naught but lies
I can't say much
But at least I tried

A wooden box
And a shiny gun
Walk ten paces
Then take the turn
Aim at me baby
Now's your chance
It's only you and me
Come on let's dance

Blue eyes smiled
On a black heart
It was going bad
Long before the start
You took my hand
Said we'd be together
You were such a fool
You should know better

Slick red nails
And a black shirt
A hole in the heart
Is where it hurts
An empty soul
And an empty gun
With a smile like mine
You should have run.
