Star Is Born

The black, black widow is sittin' in the middle of the web,
It's the fly she seeks.
You may be her lover but you never will recover,
'cause she ain't had a bite for weeks
You think your the same, 'cause you got the same name,
But the widow has a mobile home.
Remember what i told you, she got eight arms to hold you,
And she's never gonna let your roam.
She'll tuck in your head, then she'll wrap you as a midnight snack.
So if you see a spider, don't you slide up beside her
Why'd you think the widow's wearin' black?

Queen bee, baby
Pray that you may be left on your own,uh huh
Nothin' she'll give you, gonna outlive you
But the queen bee's never gonna be alone.
Long before atlantis there has been a praying mantis
And you knows why he's on his knees.
He may have religion but but he's just a sittin' pigeon
If a woman even stars to tease.
He won't even quibble if she has a little nibble on his neck, what a way to go
And now you done and torne it!
You been messin' with a hornet,
She's a blue-blood wasp, you know.
And just as you do it,
She'll inject yiu with a fluid that you ain't even got but none.
You're the meat on the plate, not even first rate,
She's gonna feed you to her seventh son.
The queen bee's story, is the power and the glory,
Of the women who have ruled alone.
Little nefertiti used to consummate a treaty
In the bad as much as on the throne
Everyone was urgin' queen elizabeth the virgin,
Just to try a man but she'd refuse.
Queen isabella was the one who said
This fella named columbus ought to take a cruise.
Did'nt cleopatra try to gratify and satisfy
The men she held within the grasp?
The pyramids where shakin' from the peace that she was makin'
But she ended with a stupid asp.
The queen bee, no way, and even tho' they think they're the kings
(escatological things)
Who are they foolin'? playin' at rulin',
It's the queen behind the scene who pulls the strings.
So, in conclusion, it's an optical illusion,
If you think thatwe're the weaker race.
Men got the muscle, but the ladies got the hustle,
And the truth is staring in your face.
The mother bear stalks, and the queen of the hawks,
Is the one who brings home the bread.
The lion that is regal, and the bald headed eagle,
Need a woman just to keep them fed.
But come the evenin', we're like adam and his eve,
Insidethe garden. hear the serpent's sond?
It's so frustratin', when you're really into martin',
And thereain't a lovin' man around.
Whoever wrote this story
Throw out the glory
Bring in the men (give me them an i'll swing)
Write me a sequel
Give me an equal
And i'll give that man
I'm gonna give that lovin' man
I said i'm gonna give that lovin' man
I'm gonna give that lovin' sting! zap!

Watch closely now

Are you watching me now?

Your eyes are like fingers

They're touching my body

And arousing my soul

Riding the passion arising inside me

How high can I go?

You're comin' with me girl, I'm gonna show you how

When it's scary, don't look down



Watch closely now

Are you watching me now?

I see the hunger arise in your eyes

And it's urging me on

Higher and harder and faster and farther

Than I've ever gone

You're coming closer lady, don'tcha leave me now

We're gonna make it, don't look down



Maybe I'm takin' me too many chances

With no net at all

Maybe I'll teach you at least that you've

Got to be free when you fall



Watch closely now

Are you watching me now?

I'm the master magician

Who's setting you free

From the lies you've been told

When they're breaking your back

Bring your last straw to me

I turn straw into gold

I'm gonna need you later, when you're not around

But I can take it, don't look down



Watch closely now .......

Are you watching me now?

(TOP)

I want to learn what life is for
I don't want much, i just want more
Ask what i want and i will sing
I want everything (everything)

I'd cure the cold and the traffic jam
If there were floods, i'd give a dam
I'd never sleep, i'd only sing
Let me do everything (everything)

I'd like to plan a city, play the cello
Play at monte carlo, play othello
Move into the white house, paint it yellow
Speak portuguese and duch
And if it's not too much
I'd like to have the perfect twin
One who'd go out as i came in
I've got to grab the big brass ring
So i'll have everything (everything)

I'm like a child who's set free
At the fun fair
Every ride invites me
And it's unfair
Saying that i only
Get my one share
Doesn't seem just
I could live as i must
If they'd
Give me the time to turn a tide
Give me the truth if once i lied
Give me the man who's gonna bring
More of everything
Then i'll have everything
Everything

I was warned as a child of thirteen
Not to act too strong
Try to look like you belong but don't push girl
Save your time and trouble
Don't misbehave
I was raised in a "no you don't world"
Overrun with rules
Memorize your lines and move as directed
That's an age old story
Everybody knows that's a worn out song
But you and i are changing that tune
We're learning new rhythms from the woman
I said the woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin' too much too soon
'cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman in the moon
I believe there's a best of both worlds
Mixing old and new
Recognizing change is seldom expected
As i long suspected
They believed that strange was a word for wrong
Well not in my song
'cause you, you and i are changing that tune
We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin' too much too soon
'cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman
I said the woman in the moon

look who's advertising
Billboards everywhere
"see hellacious acres
Your tailor made nightmare"
Traffic is backed up for miles
Attendants welcome you with devilish smiles
Steady ... steady ...
Have your tickets ready
Steady ... steady ...

Go to hell
After dark
It's a sin filled city
An amusement park
It's a one way ticket to the other side
It's a dr. jekyll and a mr. hyde
See lizzie borden, she's one of the stars
And tricky dicky barkin'
Flashin' you his pardon
Jack the ripper slashin' your tires

Even the devil needs money
To cover his overhead
That's why he opened hellacious acres
Or so his press agent said
Hang out with heavies
Your partners in crime
Forget the consequences, have a good time
Steady ... steady ...
Have your tickets ready
Steady ... steady ...

Go to hell
After dark
It's a sin filled city
An amusement park
It's a one way ticket to the other side
It's a dr. jekyll and a mr. hyde
Get down and study suspicion and doubt
At hellacious acres
Listen mischief makers
Admission's free you pay to get out
