American Beauty

American Beauty
Like a spider to a fly she sang
I was tangled in her web
I lived to see her smile until I saw the fangs
Was I lost in a mirage or was it in me
American beauty - just an illusion of a girl
American beauty - spreading her image to the world
I couldn't have tried to fight her to deny her
I'd - a died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine - american beauty

Every whisper drew me closer still
Every breath we seemed to share
I couldn't turn away she moved in for the kill
Did I give into the bait or lead it to me
American beauty - just an illusion of a girl
American beauty - spreading her image to the world
I couldn't have tried to fight her to deny her
I'd - a died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine - american beauty
No more the same is she to blame
Or am I responsible because I came
Moth to a flame I surrendered to her pull
Wrong or right she was mine for a night
American beauty - just an illusion of a girl
American beauty - spreading her image to the world
American beauty - still I can feel her in my veins
American beauty - part of me now forever stained
I couldn't have tried to fight her to deny her
I'd - a died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine - american beauty
