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'd - A 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'd - A died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine - American beauty

No more the same is she to blame
Or am i pesponsible because i came
Moth to a flame i surrendered to her pull
I'd - A died to lie beside her
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'd - A died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine - American beauty
