Hell's Kitchen

Let’s make temptation

Feel like the right thing

Feather its outcome

With ribbons and string

Let’s make Sin’s poison

Look and taste rather nice

Let’s sweeten death’s symptoms

With sugar and spice

Let’s make the cost of love

Seem much too large

Let’s offer lots of stuff

At no extra charge

Let’s keep the sheep-ple

Distracted until

They find out too late

The full price of the thrill
