A Visit/The Morphine Tango Lyrics by John Kander

Kiss of the Spider Woman (Original Cast Recording)

0

[SPIDER WOMAN]
Good evening
How have you been?
[MOLINA]
Go away!
You know how I have been
[SPIDER WOMAN]
I only want to talk
Why are you afraid?
[MOLINA]
I've always been afraid of you
[SPIDER WOMAN]
But why?
[MOLINA]
I don't know
[SPIDER WOMAN]
It will change
Someday you'll recognize me as your friend
[MOLINA]
No, never my friend
Go away!
[SPIDER WOMAN]
But I am beautiful
[MOLINA]
Yes you are
[SPIDER WOMAN]
And I am warm and kind and gentle
Why don't you like me?
[MOLINA]
I don't know
[SPIDER WOMAN]
Someday you will understand
I am your friend
Someday you will kiss me
[MOLINA]
Never, never!
Go away! Go away!
[SPIDER WOMAN]
Someday you'll give in
Of course you will
All men do
Yes, all men kiss me
And you will too
You'll part my lips
And rest yours there
You'll run your fingers
Through my hair
Your cries of pleasure
Will heat the cool night air
When you kiss me
And you will kiss me
But not now
Not yet
Not now
[PRISONERS]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Now that you have found this perfect place
Permanent delight lights up your face
Never mind the rhumba beat of sweet cocaine
Just change this morbid scene
Take some more morphine
And do (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) the morphine tango
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
