Cinema Bizarre - American Beauty

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
