Dark Lady
The fortune queen of New Orleans,Was brushing her cat in her black limousineOn the backseat were scratches fromThe marks of men her fortune she had wonCouldn't see through the tinted glass,She said "Home James" and he hit the gasI Followed her to some darkened room,She took my money, she said "I'll be with you soon"
Dark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by oneDanced to her gypsy music till her brew was doneDark Lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelveShe told me more about me than I knew myself
She dealt two cards, a queen and a threeAnd mumbled some words that were so strange to meThen she turned up a two-eyed jack,My eyes saw red but the card still stayed blackShe said the man you love is secretly trueTo someone else who is very close to youMy advice is that you leave this place,Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
Dark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by oneDanced to her gypsy music till her brew was doneDark Lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelveShe told me more about me than I knew myself
So I ran home and crawled in my bed,I couldn't sleep because of all the things she saidThen I remembered her strange perfume,And how I smelled it was in my own room!So I sneaked back and caught her with my man,Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my handThe next thing I knew they were dead on the floor,Dark Lady would never turn a card up anymore
Dark Lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by oneDanced to her gypsy music till her brew was doneDark Lady played back magic till the clock struck on the twelveShe told me more about me than I knew myself
