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 that 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
hells here on earth boy so drink for today.
