Lola Montez Danced The Spider Dance

Lyrics for Lola Montez Danced The Spider Dance

Lola Montez danced the spider dance For the last time She danced it for her man And ended up where she began Lola danced the spider dance And slowly weaved her web To express all of the ways In which love was like a maze The spider dance On the edge of the expanse The spider dance Lola Montez danced the spider dance For the next day Her man was destined to ride His final ride Lola danced the spider dance Thriving in anguish Next to a campfire A final dance of desire The spider dance On the edge of the expanse The spider dance Lola Montez danced the spider dance Exacting her will Joaquin sat there spellbound And his jug spilled out Lola danced the spider dance Each plaintive gesture Stretching the night like dough Staving off tomorrow The spider dance On the edge of the expanse The spider dance Lola Montez danced the spider dance In a hidden cave in the Sonora mountains Barefoot in the dirt By firelight Lola danced the spider dance The only music were the sounds That came from her movements Her feet, her lungs, her heart The spider dance On the edge of the expanse The spider dance Lola Montez danced the spider dance And at one point she glanced down And observed atop the threads Her eight fine legs Lola danced the spider dance Weaving strands of time A fabric to subterfuge All that she was about to lose The spider dance On the edge of the expanse The spider dance Lola Montez danced the spider dance A medicine of flesh and shadow Unpleasant dreams, dark desires Poisoned spirits and flying embers Lola danced the spider dance She put herself into a trance A premonition darkened her heart Of Joaquin’s body torn apart The spider dance On the edge of the expanse The spider dance
