Sweet With Sin Lyrics
Deluxxe
Lyrics
Like an animal in a latex suit
A stone cold heart wearing knee-high boots
I'll paint a picture of what I want
No secrets now, tell me every thought
Caught up in your net, nothing holds us back
Under red lights I fall into your trap
I wanna ruin your life, I'm gonna take your soul
Cause I can be everything you want and more
Jet black hair and pale white skin
Lips of an angel, sweet with sin
Jet black hair and pale white skin
Voodoo smile, sweet with sin
Leading me like a moth to a flame
Carnal desires rotting my brain
Silk slipped slowly down to the floor
Lace laid lonely by the bedroom door
Screams from the heat, calling my name
Led on leash but cannot be tamed
Just a loveless act of selfish bliss
Your voodoo smile, sweet with sin
Jet black hair and pale white skin
Lips of an angel, sweet with sin
Jet black hair and pale white skin
Voodoo smile, sweet with sin
Jet black hair and pale white skin
Lips of an angel, sweet with sin
Jet black hair and pale white skin
Voodoo smile, sweet with sin
