Merry Widow

I do not sleep at night Restless 'til morning light I cannot breathe For him I wait Laced tight like Bettie Bound up like bait Just like a lonesome rose My desperation grows Until he sees And fills my hollow heart With temporary sparks and debris Smear rouge across my lips to cover up sorrow Put all my trust in lust to fight loneliness to the ground I leave a trail for his hungry heart to follow Whenever he comes to town Now everywhere I go I wear my merry widow Vigilantly Just call my name You know my answer's always the samе Long as I'm yours to keep I swear I'll never weep Evеr again For love's abandoned me But with you I can safely pretend Smear rouge across my lips to cover up sorrow Put all my trust in lust to fight loneliness to the ground I leave a trail for his hungry heart to follow Whenever he comes to town I do not sleep at night Restless 'til morning light I cannot breathe For him I wait Laced tight like Bettie Bound up like bait
