Femme Fatale
Verse 1
Weaved throughout our history
Are female forms of mystery
They can tempt a monk from his cell
Or make a pious preacher choose the path to hell
After the enchanted seed has been planted
The only way is down
Too late for confession she’s the obsession
In her deceit you’ll drown
Chorus 1
Femme, femme, femme, fatale, fulfilling your fears
Femme, femme, she’s a femme fatale, this will end in tears
Verse 2
From biblical scene to silver screen
Men succumb to an enticing dream
A heady (Hedy) Deliah, or beguiling Eve
They know now that looks deceive
Mesmerizing, uncompromising
Her weapons are want and lust
She’s got it planned and we are all damned
As illusion turns to dust
Chorus 2
Femme femme femme fatale, hath thee in thrall
Femme, femme, she’s a femme fatale, she’ll take it all
Verse 3
Romantic poets so easily fall
Seduced by the sirens call
Reason happy to discard
Fools to feminine facade
Utterly consumed we know we’re doomed
As she pretends to please
Totally ensnaring but never caring
The temptress is merely tease
Chorus 3
Femme, femme, femme fatale, lips together and blowing
Femme, femme, she’s a femme fatale, no mercy she’s showing
What is it about?
Femme Fatale
A French term meaning ‘deadly woman’ or ‘lethal woman’ who uses by using charm, beauty, and sexual allure to achieve her purpose. Sounds like a good song subject if ever I heard one. The images are largely of an actress from the black and film white era called Theda Bara nicknamed the Vamp.
