The Lady Lies

[Intro: Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

Ooh, the man steps out in the moonlight

At the sound of a scream from below

He thinks he is a warrior

So he picks up his sword and goes

From the mouth of the monster

He rescues the maiden fair

But we know she's a demon

Come to lure him to the demon's lair

[Pre-Chorus]

Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads

To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home

[Chorus]

"Come with me, I need you

I fear the dark and I live all alone

I'll give you wine and food too

And something special after, if you like"

[Intro: Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

And though his body bids him

To enter in with her

There was something in her manner

That his mind could not ignore

Also, it is whispered

In the kingdom far and wide

To beware, a little cottage

In the forest in a glade

[Pre-Chorus]

For who knows what magic takes place in his world?

So he just thanks her kindly, preparing to go on his way

[Chorus]

"Come with me, I need you

I fear the dark and I live all alone

I'll give you wine and food too

And something special after if you like"

[Bridge]

"Come to my garden

Taste the fruits and the spices of love

You can't resist me

I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of"

[Synthesizer Solo]

[Intro]

"So glad you could make it

We had everything arranged

So glad you saw fit to pay a call"

[Verse 3]

Some men never listen

And others never learn

But why this man did as he did

Only he will ever know

He knew he was walking

Into a waiting trap

Neatly set up for him

With a bait so richly wrapped

[Pre-Chorus]

So he went inside there to take on what he found

But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?

[Chorus]

"Come with me, I need you

I fear the dark and I live all alone

I'll give you wine and food too

And something special after, if you like"
