lyrics
The femme fatale of the flea market.
Like a High Priestess of Podunk.
A sorceress from old Nantucket.
She must be from another world.
Like Cleopatra at the café.
The wicked witch of West Cincinnati.
A demoness and what a beauty.
She must be from another world.
She’s gonna shake your little scene,
With a style and grace supreme.
Gothic poems freshly spun,
And a Pandora’s box of fun.
In the temple of her art,
In the mystery of her heart,
In a misty moonbeam sight,
She disappears into the night.
