Paroles de Praying Mantis

Album: Most of the Girls Like to Dance, But Only Some of the Boys Do



I saw a girl, she reminded me of you
She did the things that a girl like you might do

Her body was green and she had two vicious jaws

She found her a mate as she kissed him with her claws



Yes but I survived, it was on TV

She had six strong legs and it frightened me

She had insect eyes, but I could still see

That the looks she gave him, you give to me



I feel like a praying mantis (I sense her acting)


She bit off his head so he would not feel the pain

She wanted his body so much she ate his brain

Yes but I survived, no you won't catch me

I'll resist this urge that's tempting me

I'll avert my eyes, keep you off my knee

But it feels so good when you talk to me



I feel like a praying mantis (I sense her acting)

Just like a praying mantis (I sense her antics)

I can't help it I've been too frantic too long



solo



Yes but I survived, it was on TV

She had six strong legs and it frightened me

She had insect eyes, but I could still see

That the looks she gave him, you give to me



I feel like a praying mantis (I sense her acting)

Just like a praying mantis (I sense your antics)

I can't help it I've been too frantic too long...



Like a pray-ay-ay...

I feel like a praying mantis...

Ay-ay-oh-ay...
