Lyrics:
I’ll Be a Curse by Ariel Zevon (c) 2017
My heart it invites you, incites you, delights you
Then it bites you, fights you until you’re tied too
There’s no light for you, you want to die too
I’ll be a curse on you
Don’t tempt my heart
I don’t mean it to
My love’ll turn on you
I’ll be a curse on you
I’ll be a curse on you
My lips they seduce you, induce you, entice you
Ensnare you, strangle you, steal breath from you
There’s nothing you can do, my web entangles you
I’ll be a curse on you
Don’t tempt my heart
I don’t mean it to
My love’ll turn on you
I’ll be a curse on you
I’ll be a curse on you
My love it suffocates, placates, devastates
Manipulates, discombobulates, puts you in a state
You can’t see straight, ‘til your love turns to hate
I’ll be a curse on you
I’ll be a curse on you
Don’t tempt my heart
I don’t mean it to
My love’ll turn on you
I’ll be a curse on you
I’ll be a curse
I’ll be a curse on you
