Light breaks on the horizon The ebbing on the flood Finally out of the clutches Pick myself up from mud The scales fallen from my eyes now The dark clouds pass away No bitter taste left in my mouth And I can breathe again Can't look myself in the mirror While shaving you from my face And I'll not be your victim I've escaped All of my senses gave me good warning Every signal flashed alarm My mind slept under narcosis For you seemed so soft and warm Well-schooled to be irresistible Your world's one of constant schemes The mistress of deft seduction Too devious for me You tempted me beyond reason As with relish you played your game To your rules, double cross, deceit and shame You toyed with me in many ways So close to falling But by the skin of my teeth At the very last moment I've escaped you From your spider's web I'm free You sucked the air out slowly from my lungs With each new set of your desperate lies With kisses you wove your sorcery I believed you time after time Filled my veins with a tempestuous madness Loved me 'til I was dizzy and blind Then froze me out with dispassion You're poison of a deadly kind Deliberately you maneuvered me As your prey, the net was cast And for your killer instinct the coup de grace But that will never come So close to falling But by the skin of my teeth At the very last moment I've escaped you From your spider's web I'm free So close to falling But by the skin of my teeth At the very last moment I've escaped you From your spider's web I'm free All your tricks just don't work now I've learned to stand up straight I've seen right through your cover just in time I won't see you again So close to falling But by the skin of my teeth At the very last moment I've escaped you From your spider's web I'm free So close to falling But by the skin of my teeth At the very last moment I've escaped you From your spider's web I'm free
