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 have 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 have 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 came? 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 have died to lie beside her. Wrong or right, she was mine — American beauty
