black betty & the moon

Singer:horrible crowes, the

my love

my love

you're the sting of the scorpion

consider

now

the angels

a little lower than you

and they twist and they turn

and they hold their breath 'til it's blue

and they can't turn away like i can

when you're lookin' like you do

looky black betty

what they're tying to you

you did the very thing

baby

that i asked you not to do

and now you got yourself caught in the silk spiderweb

i hope the money fills the holes

can see the roof is caving in

my heart

my heart

you're the moon and her shining light

darkness and void of form

like you were keeping me alive

and i've been dreaming of poisonings from the venom of my enemies

clever as the viper

dear

but gentle as a stampede of stones

looky black betty

what they're tying to you

you did the very thing

baby

that i asked you not to do

now you got yourself caught in the silk spiderweb

i hope the money fills the holes

can see the roof is caving in

and they want you to doubt every trust that you've known

and they wanna find the holes in the armor exposed

and they come on whispering

if you just do this for me. and turn and show their teeth just before they're sinking in

and better than described and deeper the decent

i never thought we'd have to learn to doubt our friends

and better than described

so much deeper the decent

i never thought we'd have to learn to doubt our friends

looky black betty

what they're tying to you

you did the very thing

baby

that i asked you not to do

now you got yourself caught in the silk spiderweb

i hope the money fills the holes

can see the roof is caving in

looky black betty

what they're tying to you

you did the very thing

baby

that i asked you not to do

now you got yourself caught in the silk spiderweb

i hope the money fills the holes in the place i used to stand
