Black Widow

Lyrics

And here, my prize, the black widow.
 isn't she lovely? and so deadly.
 her kiss is fifteen times more poisonous than the rattlesnake.
 and you see her venom is highly neurotoxic
 which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system
 causing intense pain
 profuse sweating
 difficulty in breathing
 loss of consciousness
 violent convulsions
 and finally death.
 you know what i think i love the most about her
 is her inborn need to dominate and possess.
 such power and dignity, unhampered by sentiment.
 if i may put forward a slice of personal philosophy
 i feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling dimented child-king long enough!
 and as his empire crumbles, my precious black widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!
 These words he speaks are true
 we're all humanary stew
 if we don't pledge allegiance to
 the black widow
 The horror that he'll brings
 the horror of his sting
 the unholiest of kings
 the black widow
 Our minds will be destroyed
 and every girl and boy
 will learn to be employed
 the black widow
 Love me
 yes we love me
 love him
 yes we love him
 love me
 yes we love him, oh
 He sits upon his throne
 and picks at all the bones
 of his husbands and his wives
 he's devoured
 he stares with a gleam
 with a laugh so obscene
 and the children and the virgins
 he's deflowered
 Love me
 yes we love me
 love him
 yes we love him
 love me
 yes we love him, oh
 Our thoughts are hot and crazed
 our dreams are webbed in haze
 mindless, senseless daze
 the black widow
 These words he speaks are true
 we're all humanary stew
 if we don't pledge allegiance to
 ha-ha-ha, the black widow
 The black widow
 sets free, oh, the children to me
