Deadly Nightshade

(album: Baby's Got A Gun - 1980)

After dark you blossom out
You flower in the night
You smell of roses
But sometimes you taste bitter almost like...
Deadly nightshade

In a while she'll take over
Your whole life if you let her
She can intoxicate but
Minds of men who should know better like...
Deadly nightshade
Like deadly nightshade
Like deadly nightshade
Like deadly nightshade

Can't you see?
The whole world crumbling under me

Stars are your companions and
The darkness is your friend
It protects you from the gaze of
Any would-be hired assassin of...
Deadly nightshade

After dark you blossom out
You flower in the night
You smell of roses
But sometimes you taste bitter almost like...
Deadly nightshade
My bella-donna

Can't you see?
The whole world crumbling under me
Can't you see?
The whole world crumbling under me
