"The Temptress"

I’ve always been proud of my Plastic Mikey lyrics. The music of the songs is very simple, based on only two chords. Many of the Plastic Mikey songs followed that formula: very basic chord structure of just two or three chords (sometime only one!) with the lyrics and melody creating the forward momentum. It gives the songs an almost zen-like feel…whatever that means.

The Temptress

© 1994 Kevin Dempsey and Brian Hutzell

Night comes early, warm but refined

With a chilling look, she drives me inside

Sometime I run and sometimes I crawl

And I find her a witch or a dancing doll

Shackled and swollen I scream and I beg

But she won't ease the pain at the top of my legs

Primal instincts--reckless and raw

I surrender beneath her claws

This is where the leather struck

You can feel the welt, but you'll never know how it felt

When the lash fell from the hand of The Temptress

My time as a slave is a time of release

Only in chains are my emotions set free

The guilt of pleasure is washed away

By the cleansing sting of tears when I pray

Beaten and burning I tremble and cry

In my bondage I'm bursting and ready to die

This is where the leather struck

You can feel the welt, but you'll never know how it felt

When the lash fell from the hand of The Temptress

Death comes early, gentle and sweet

And again I'm amazed she knows just what I need

I'm fine for the moment, but it never lasts

I'll be back to indulge in the magic she casts

This is where the leather struck

You can feel the welt, but you'll never know how it felt

When the lash fell from the hand of The Temptress
