lyrics

Trapped like an insect in a spider’s web
Or a fish upon a hook
You’ve been absolutely spellbound, boy
Just a wink was all it took
Every movement seems to welcome you
From a flick of her hair to a swish of her skirt
But she’s waiting for a chance to stick a knife in your spine
And boy that will do more than hurt
You’re trying too hard
You won’t get very far boy
If she asks you to dance you’re gonna wind up doing the Danse Macabre
Other people shy away from her
Can you guess the reason why?
It’s been said that people dance with her
On the night before they die
Boy, you’re nothing but a snack for her
She’ll swallow ya whole and then spit out ya bones
She’ll break your heart and then she’ll stop it dead
And it’s nobody’s fault but your own ‘cuz you’re trying too hard
You won’t get very far boy
If she asks you to dance you’re gonna wind up doing the Danse Macabre
You know that you’ll never be missed
Just another name on her list
But how can you even resist, oh here we go
So you think you’ll be the first to win her heart
Or you think the risk is worth the thrill
If you seek it you’ll find it, and more than you bargained for, of that I’m sure
If only you realised that sometimes looks can kill
You won’t get very far
You’re trying much, much, much too hard
Yes yes you are, yes you’re trying too hard
You won’t get very far
If she asks you to dance you’re gonna wind up doing the Danse Macabre
