Lyrics
fade away][Verse 1 - Raspy male singer:
‘Nother hazy night down Bourbon street when lost souls crawl back home
I count my blessin’s by the dozen but I carry them alone
Drifting under shadows I feel the sins inside my veins
A flash of red on cobblestones is driving me insane.
Verse 2 - Raspy male singer:
I stop and strain my eyes to catch a floating crimson gown
A beauty sent from heaven for to strike the devil down
I’ve lived in this forsaken land a hundred thousand years or more
But never have I ever seen the like of pretty, Red Lenore
Verse 3 - Raspy male singer:
Oooh What is this trance
Uh-oh-aaaaah Do I advance?
My heart stands still and legs no longer heed my own command
My lips betray me - “miss, will you shake a sinner’s hand?”
Pre-chorus - Raspy male singer:
Will you shake a sinners hand?
Oh-oh-ooooooh
Oh will you shake a sinner’s hand?
Oh-oh-aooo-ooooo-oooohhhh!
Chorus - Raspy male singer:
I have always been the villain
But your wine red lips,
Love’s virgin kiss
Pull me deep under your spell.
Sinners we lay together
Where the broken angels fell
oh-aohhh
Chorus reprise - Raspy male singer:
I have always been the villain
But your wine red lips,
Love’s virgin kiss
My blood will taint your sacred well
I've always worn this toxic villain skin too well
Oh too well
Oh so so well
This sinner's blood will taint your sacred virgin well
Instrumental - emotional guitar riff
Verse 4 - Angelic ethereal female singer:
‘Nother gorgeous night down Bourbon street when lovers stroll back home
I carry blessin’s by the dozen for the ones that are alone
Waiting in the shadows I feel the whispers of the damned
One whispers out - “dear miss, will you shake a sinner’s hand?”
Verse 5 - Angelic ethereal female singer:
“What do they call you, sweetheart” I release my favorite line
He thinks I am his target, but he doesn’t know he’s mine!
I reach one hand and then another - we begin a stroll
Never has there been a sinner I could not control
Verse 6 - Angelic ethereal female singer:
Oooh What is this trance
Uh-oh-aaaaah Do I advance?
His heart expands and day by day his love grows bold like mine
His sinner's hand will one day hold the torch of the divine.
Pre-chorus - Angelic ethereal female singer:
Will you shake a virgin’s hand?
Oh-oh-ooooooh
Oh will you shake a virgin’s hand?
Oh-oh-aooo-ooooo-oooohhhh!
Chorus - Angelic ethereal female singer:
I have always been the virgin
With my wine-red lips, love’s virgin kiss
Pull you deep under my spell.
Lovers we lay together
Like two souls released from hell
oh-aohhh
Chorus reprise- Angelic ethereal female singer:
I have always been the virgin
With my wine red lips, love’s virgin kiss
Your tainted blood can’t break my spell
I’ve always worn this loving virgin skin so well
Oh so well
So so well
Your sinner’s blood will be washed clean by this scarlet southern belle
Bridge 1 - Angelic ethereal female singer:
Oh I will claim your sinner hand!
Oh-oh-ooooooh
short pause
Bridge 2 - Raspy male singer:
Oh I will have your virgin's hand!
Oh-oh-aoo-oo-oohh!
outro duet, legato, ritardando, dying out, fade out
Angelic ethereal female singer:
As we tie our fates together
Raspy male singer:
With a blood, red, wedding band...
end
long sustained piano note fades out
