Black Widow's Eyes

The Who · Endless Wire [2006]

You jumped out of an alley

With surprise in your black widow's eyes

I was prepared to be unprepared

Been preparing for lights



I fell right in love with you

Into a thousand parts I blew

I fell right in love with you



I was caught in a corner

He recoiled from a broken romance

Taking breath after once undead

I had a firm grip on my pants



I fell right in love with you

Through a hundred hearts you flew

I fell right in love with you



Strange that when infatuation calls

We think we've got real love in our life

It pumps like the pressure in a station hall

As the express train thunders on by



I fell right in love with you

As the blood came blowing through

I fell right in love with you



Across the room, I saw your eyes

Black window looking back at me

You held a gun as children cried

You touched some wires, they shattered me



I was blown into a blue

There'd been nothing I could do

I fell right in love with you



I rose up to the station

Smelt your scent by the door

You stood waiting so patient

Just one wait, then no more



I fell right in love with you

There'd been nothing I could do

I fell right in love with you



Across the room, I saw your eyes

Black window looking back at me

You held a gun as children cried

You touched some wires, they shattered me
