about

Femme Fatale tells a tale of small-town temptation! The song will feature on Staggers and Jags' upcoming debut album, out this fall.

lyrics

Sun up, July ten
It’s hotter than the hoof on the bottom of the devil’s leg
Sparks fly when hit his feet hit the floor
It’s my shoulder and the angel on other’s a no-show

Got a wife, a baby girl, and a heart inside as flawed as the next man
Skin and bone, what can I do?

Sun down, boiling moon
Bellied up for one more before I call it a good night
Last call, it’s time to go...

But then I saw that femme fatale
She said man I’ve seen you around
We live in a small town / we live in a small town

She said, look me up / if you feel like goin down
And with that / she was nowhere to be found
The devil on my shoulder he told me I should hold her
The devil sent his friend that femme fatale

Sun up, it’s July five and ten, it all started over again
When I saw her in the same place
She reached out her tentacles, started playing my ventricles
Like a dreadnought

Home sweet home, what my family don’t know, it could hurt em bad
if someone pulled the wool back
Sun down, found my way back, but you know my baby tracked me down
By and by

And when she saw that femme fatale
She said man I heard you been out runnin around
I been found / god damn this small town

She said don’t look me up / if you’re feelin down
And with that / she left this town
The devil on my shoulder twirled his dancing partner
The devil and his friend that femme fatale
