American Beauty - Cinema Bizarre

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 have 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 have 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 have died to lie beside her.

Wrong or right, she was mine — American beauty
