Warpaint Lyrics by The New Roses

Sweet Poison

2022

High heals kicking dust on the hot dance floor
I need to take a look and I can't let go
I feel all fired up and I'm ready for more

Like a valkyrie she moves in the disco light
There's no help for me I stand there all paralyzed
As she digs out the hatchet and gets ready to fight

Her lips covered in red
And her eyes all black

That's war warpaint, warpaint
That's warpaint, warpaint
That ain't no lipstick baby
That ain't no make up at all
That's war warpaint

She knows she's a predator and I'm the prey
She shows off her weapons and I can't escapе
She goes on the attack - clеar the ring lets play

Every hip swing carries out her dangerous threat
Every kiss is like an arrow with a deadly head
That splits my body into blood and sweat

Her lips covered in red
And those eyes all black

That's war warpaint, warpaint
That's warpaint, warpaint
That ain't no lipstick baby
That ain't no make up at all
That's war warpaint

Those lips covered in red
And those nails all black

That's war warpaint, warpaint
That's warpaint, warpaint
That ain't no lipstick baby
That ain't no make up at all
That's war warpaint
