The Lady Lies

Ooh, and 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 Through restless foliage And tall trees she leads To a house in a clearing A place in her fear she calls home 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 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 For who knows what magic Takes place in his world So he just thanks her kindly Preparing to go on his way 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 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 So glad you could make it We had everything arranged So glad you saw fit to pay a call Some men never listen And other 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 So he went inside there To take on what he found But he never escaped them For who can escape what he desires 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
