lyrics

She took off her dress
She wiped her bloody nose her face was a mess
I took off my clothes
The web we spun wasn't the one she chose

Six inch heels in the dead of the night
The smell of gin clouded this shameful sight
She gave it away
Made it too easy, but I still didn't stay

Your Mine
Said the spider to the dirty fly
I Lied
Said the spider to the twisted fly
Don't cry
Said the spider to the worthless fly

She put on her dress
She wiped her eyes, the poor girl, she was a mess
I put on my clothes
The deed was done into the night I drove

The deed was in to the night i drove
Left her crying by the side of the road
