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 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
