Lola Montez
Volbeat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lola Montez, so beautiful
Shady and a tempered dame
Blinding your eyes with her spider dance
Her performance utterly erotic subversive to all ideas
And for public morality
And cool as she was, she didn't care
See the miner throw his gold
Lifting her skirt howling loud like a wolf
Hell raising and full of sin
When Lola was dancing and showing her skin
Wherever she walks
She will be captivating all the men
Don't look in her eyes
You might fall and find the love of your life, heavenly
But she'll catch you in her web
The love of your life, yeah
Feel the fire where she walks
Lola Montez, so beautiful
Shady and a tempered dame
Blinding your eyes with her spider dance
"Well notorious I have been
But never for fame" that's what she said
Dear Henry taste my whip
Never to see any words you print
Wherever she walks
She will be captivating all the men
Don't look in her eyes
You might fall and find the love of your life, heavenly
But she'll catch you in her web
The love of your life, yeah
Oh Lola, I'm sure that the love would have been
The key to all your pain, the key to all your pain
No words will later come
Did the spider bite your tongue?
We will surely not forget
We will surely not forget
The Lola spider dance
Whoa
Don't look on her eyes
You might fall and find the love of your life, heavenly
But she'll catch you in her web
The love of your life, yeah
