After dark you blossom out
You flower in the night
You smell of roses
But sometimes you taste bitter
Almost like deadly nightshade
In a while she'll take over
Your whole life if you let her
She can intoxicate the minds of men
Who should know better
Like deadly nightshade, like deadly nightshade
Like deadly nightshade, like deadly nightshade
Can't you see?
The whole world's crumbling under me
Stars are your companions
And the darkness is your friend
It protects you from the gaze of
Any would be hired assassin
Oh, deadly nightshade
After dark you blossom out
You flower in the night
You smell of roses
But sometimes you taste bitter
Almost like deadly nightshade, my belladonna
Like deadly nightshade, my belladonna
Can't you see?
The whole world's crumbling under me
Can't you see?
The whole world's crumbling under me
