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 k** 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 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'd - a died to lie beside her Wrong or right she was mine - american beauty
