Kiss Of The Spider Woman - Chita Rivera

Sooner or later, you’re certain to meet

In the bedroom, the parlor, or even the street

There’s no place on earth you’re likely to miss

Her kiss

Sooner or later, in sunlight or bloom

When the red candles flicker, she’ll walk in the room

And the curtain will shake and the fires will hiss

Here comes her kiss

And the moon grows dimmer

At the tide’s low ebb

And her black beads shimmer

And you’re aching to move but you’re caught in the web

Of the Spider Woman

In her velvet cape

You can scream

But you cannot escape

Sooner or later, your love will arrive

And she touches your heart, you’re alert and alive

But there’s only one pin that can puncture such bliss

Her kiss

Sooner or later, you’ll bathe in success

And your minions salute, they say nothing but «Yes!»

But you power is empty, it fades like the mist

Once you’ve been kissed

And the moon grows dimmer

At the tide’s low ebb

And your breath comes faster

And you’re aching to move but you’re caught in the web

Of the Spider Woman

In her velvet cape

You can run

You can scream

You can hide

But you cannot escape
