An iron maiden stole my heart away, O black day Her siren songs seemed to call to me, O destiny She spat her thrash metal lyrics right into my mind The stage thundered and the smoke bombs made me blind She sang "Hello liebchen, wollen-sie ein jig-a-jig-a, nein?" She said "Left, right, right, left. Come on Joe don't be slow. Up, down, down, up. Come on Joe, time to go. In, out, out, in. Do it if you love me Joe" I know it's art for art's sake but how much more can I take? What's my share of this backlash love affair? Her hair extension's down to her knees, what a tease She got tattoos everywhere you look, she's a comic book Why she goes for my type I'll never understand She's so demure when we promenade hand in hand And when we get back home she let's me know that she's in command She said "Left, right, right, left. Come on Joe don't be slow. Up, down, down, up. Come on Joe, it's time to go. In, out, out, in. Do it if you love me Joe" I know it's art for art's sake but how much more can I take? What's my share of this backlash love affair? Those iron maidens, cool as a marble slab They wrap around you and the cold knives cut and stab I can't live my life as someone else's shishkebab She said "Left, right, right, left. Come on Joe don't be slow. Up, down, down, up. Come on Joe, it's time to go. In, out, out, in. Do it if you love me Joe" I know it's art for art's sake but how much more can I take? What's my share of this backlash love affair?
