[Verse 1]
Day into night, she's with me
How sweet is her warm embrace
Safe in the scent of jasmine
So safe in her gold and lace
[Verse 2]
Mornings I find, she's left me
So cold, so alone, but aware
I try to escape, she finds me
Oh run, though I may, she's there
There, there, there, there
[Verse 3]
Luck is a lady whose smile
Is as cold as a stone
She'll bring you things
Many things you might never have known
But when your die is cast
She'll have the final laugh at you
She'll lock you in a duel
Where you come out the fool
[Chorus]
Beware of the Queen of Spades!
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
Beware of a love that you will regret!
Her love means only your death
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Day into night, she's with me
Turn of a card, she's there
The first time is free, you know
But from now on, pay me
Me, me, me, me
(Hahahahahaha! You lose!)
[Chorus]
Beware of the Queen of Spades!
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
Beware of a love that you will regret!
Her love means only your death
Beware of the Queen of Spades!
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
Beware of a love that you will regret!
Her love means only your death
