Metal Queen
Vanilla Ninja Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She is not the girl you're expecting
When you're dressed-out to kill
You may find she looks fantastic
And you're ready for a thrill
You will find her mind's kinda poisoned
You will find her blood's like ice
Oh, danger in my eyes

Metal Queen
She's gonna break your heart
Oh, till your ambitions collide
Metal Queen
She's out in the dark
Oh, don't fall in love tonight

She will look at you like a flashlight
And she will embrace you like steel
She will whisper words like weapons
Cutting wounds that never heal
Better run away when she is smiling
Don't ever fall in love
Cause, oh, she never gets enough

Metal Queen
She's gonna break your heart
Oh, till your ambitions collide
Metal Queen

She's out in the dark
Oh, don't fall in love tonight
