On a hot summer wind
that the night had blown in
a vision a siren in black
with green velvet eyes
and a porcelain smile
the fireflies danced in her hair she said
“please can you help me
I'm lost and I’ve nowhere to go
please can you be the kindest soul?”
well I couldn’t resist her undauntable charm
as she brushed passed me through the door
there was something inside burned I just couldn’t hide
I'd never seen beauty before
“please can I stay
for my body is weak to the bone
and can you tell me are we alone?”
heaven is only one kiss away
and I can take you as long as we stay
well, the first lie I told was my wife had been gone
one year ago to this day
and I still hear her cries in the trembling night
and the nightmares just won’t go away
“please come close and look deep in my eyes”
and I watched them turn black as night
heaven is only one kiss away,
and I can take you as long as we stay
heaven is only one kiss away.
hells here on earth boy so drink for today
well I watched her lay sprawling, beckoning and calling,
burning holes right through the floor
and the wind started howling and my hands started shaking
and the smell of death rose through the air
“this is the last thing thatI I’ll ask of you,
embrace me tonight and let us take flight”
her siren song seeped slowly into my head
as I drew her close to my lips
and as they gently touched I felt a terrible rush
as the life was crushed right from my heart
with my last breath I watched
the black angel of death spread her wings in bliss
for she had stolen my soul through a kiss
heaven is only one kiss away
and I can take you as long as we stay
heaven is only one kiss away
hell’s here on earth boy so drink for today.
