your shoulder
Black mark up against your
name
Your green eyes couldn't get
any colder
There's bad poison runnin'
through your veins
[CHORUS]
Evil walks behind you
Evil sleeps beside you
Evil talks arouse you
Evil walks behind you
Black widow weavin' evil
notions
Dark secrets bein' spun in
your web
Good men goin' down in your
ocean
They can't swim 'cause
they're tied to your bed
[CHORUS]
You're just cry wolf
I sometimes wonder where you
Park your broom
Oh black widow
C'mon weave your web
Down in your ocean
You got 'em tied to your bed
With your dark, dark secrets
And your green, green eyes
You black widow
[CHORUS]
Evil walks so bad
