Sooner or later you're certain to meet
In the bedroom, the parlor, or even the street
There's no place on earth you're likely to miss
Her kiss

Sooner or later in sunlight or gloom
When the red candles flicker, she'll walk in the room
And the curtains will shake, and the fire will hiss
Here comes her kiss

And the Moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And her black beads shimmer
And you're aching to move, but you're caught in the web

Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can scream
But you cannot escape

Sooner or later your love will arrive
And he touches your heart, you're alert and alive
And there's only one pin that can puncture such bliss
Her kiss

Sooner or later you bathe in success
And your minions salute, they say nothing but yes
But your power is empty, it fades like the mist
Once you've been kissed

And the Moon grows dimmer
At the tide's low ebb
And your breath comes faster
And you're aching to move but you're caught in the web

Of the Spider Woman
In her velvet cape
You can run
You can scream
You can hide
But you cannot escape
