American Beauty Lyrics

American Beauty Song Lyrics

Like a spider to a fly she sang
I was tangled in her web
I lived to see her smile until I saw the fangs
Was I lost in a mirage or was it in me

American beauty - Just an illusion of a girl
American beauty - Spreading her image to the world
I couldn't have tried to fight her to deny her
I'd-a died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine - American beauty

Every whisper drew me closer still
Every breath we seemed to share
I couldn't turn away she moved in for the kill
Did I give into the bait or lead it to me
American beauty - Just an illusion of a girl
American beauty - Spreading her image to the world
I couldn't have tried to fight her to deny her
I'd-a died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine - American beauty

No more the same is she to blame
Or am I responsible because I am
Moth to a flame I surrendered to her pull
Wrong or right she was mine for a night

American beauty - Just an illusion of a girl
American beauty - Spreading her image to the world
American beauty - Still I can feel her in my veins
American beauty - Part of me now forever stained
I couldn't have tried to fight her to deny her
I'd-a died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine - American beauty
