When there's a soft drum roll that chills the skin Slow portamento of a violin You feel her coming Before she slinks into the room She cuts a devasting silhouette In the low light of a smouldering threat With an open hand As she commands You'll rise She says she wants to be your friend Just a warning to protect you from yourself Your arm already 'round her waist Chest to chest Face to face Counter-clockwise you both twist and spin Through the traffic of your every sin Through every nightmare And every terror you design Your pleading gaze meets her distrustful stare Seductive lies the shade of deep despair Oh so believable So hollow So easy To follow She says she wants to be your friend Just a warning to protect you from yourself Your arm already 'round her waist Chest to chest Face to face You push and pull and dance the steps Too exhausted to know strength or weakness The sharp staccato of her breath Keeps the beat But you're the one who leads You're the one who leads You're the one who leads
