Lyrics
She was a sleek and slender enchantress 'd met at the Casbah
Encountering a captivating woman at the Casbah.
When her green eyes first met mine I was overwhelmed with awe
Feeling overwhelmed with admiration when making eye contact with her green eyes.
Well we danced all night to the tango and she lured me with her charms
Dancing to the tango with her, enticed by her charms.
As the band played how I prayed I'd awaken in her arms
Expressing a strong desire to wake up in her arms as the band plays.
(chorus)
Chorus: Howling at the moon, sensing something wrong and feeling enchanted.
And then I howled at the moon I knew that something was wrong
Continuation of the howling, realizing a potential issue.
She'd had me in a spell and I knew it wouldn't be too long
Acknowledging being under a spell and anticipating consequences.
Before I'd end up before I'd end up here in a prison cell
Foreseeing a possible imprisonment due to the enchantment.
Oh here in a prison cell
Reiterating the expectation of ending up in a prison cell.
And while we danced she swayed like a cobra you could almost hear her hiss
Describing the woman's dance movements resembling a cobra, with an irresistible hypnotic gaze.
As her green eyes hypnotized it was useless to resist
Highlighting the difficulty in resisting her allure.
Well she drove me home in her Jaguar and she took me to her room
Being taken home in her Jaguar and led to her room.
Though it all seems like a dream it was there I met my doom
Reflecting on the surreal nature of the experience and the realization of impending doom.
(chorus)
Chorus: Repeating the howling, emphasizing the ominous feeling.
When she said, "Come my little fly
Quoting the woman inviting the narrator, metaphorically calling him a "little fly."
Come now don't be shy
Encouraging the narrator to enter her metaphorical web without hesitation.
Just step into my web"
Describing the trap set by the woman.
I could feel my future fold as I blacked out cold
Feeling a sense of impending danger and losing consciousness.
When I came to she was dead
Regaining consciousness to find the woman dead.
(chorus)
Chorus: Repeating the howling, now in the context of the unexpected turn of events.
