"All she lacked to be the next Calvin Klein girl was the blankly stupid model look in her eyes. Give her credit: Senna's eyes were alive, focused, intense, glittering. Greedy."
"It is such a place as this...that works a strong man's ruin. He comes here, heart whole and happy, with no better experience of woman than is to be learnt at a flower-show or in a ball room; with no more familiar knowledge of the creature than he has of the far-away satellites of the remoter planets; with a vague notion that she is a whirling teetotum in pink or blue gauze, or a graceful automaton for the display of milliners' manufacture. He comes to some place of this kind, and the universe is suddenly narrowed into about half a dozen acres; the mighty scheme of creation is crushed into a bandbox. The far-away creatures whom he had seen floating about him, beautiful and indistinct, are brought under his very nose; and before he has time to recover his bewilderment, hey, presto! the witchcraft has begun: the magic circle is drawn around him, the spells are at work, the whole formula of sorcery is in full play, and the victim is as powerless to escape as the marble-legged prince in the Eastern story."

You better watch your step
She's gonna break your heart in two, it's true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She'll build you up just to put you down, what a clown"

But she crawls under your skin
You're never quite the same, and now I know
She's got something you just can't trust
And it's something mysterious
And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her"

"Had you coiled round my arm
How could you ever know?
How I loved your diamond eyes
But that was long ago—go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
With your lovely smile.
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile."
