In the moonlight, your face is shadowed on my wall,
     In the starlight, I think I hear your siren's call,
     'Round about midnight, your form is dancing in my brain,
     In the still night, I feel like crying out your name.
     Oh, Teressa, Teressa -- Teressa terrible.

You are thunder, you are lightning, you are satin, you are lace.
I'm a tiger in the jungle, you're the huntress on the chase,
There's a wild unbridled spirit 'neath your button-down decor.
There's a magic in your presence keeps me coming back for more.

     In the moonlight, your face is shadowed on my wall,
     In the starlight, I think I hear your siren's call,
     'Round about midnight, your form is dancing in my brain,
     In the still night, I feel like crying out your name.
     Oh, Teressa, Teressa -- Teressa terrible.

You are danger and delight, I'm the moth unto your flame,
But if I burn like Iccarus, I'll rise up all the same,
For I'd rather be a martyr to your pleasure and the pain
Than a slave to some machinery that grinds away in vain.

     In the moonlight, your face is shadowed on my wall,
     In the starlight, I think I hear your siren's call,
     'Round about midnight, your form is dancing in my brain,
     In the still night, I feel like crying out your name.
     Oh, Teressa, Teressa -- Teressa terrible.

I will drive you to distraction, you may drive me to my grave.
We're so alike that it's not clear who's the master, who's the slave.
So be savage, sweet and gentle as you lash me with your sighs.
There's power in your tenderness, there's terror in your eyes.

     In the moonlight, your face is shadowed on my wall,
     In the starlight, I think I hear your siren's call,
     'Round about midnight, your form is dancing in my brain,
     In the still night, I feel like crying out your name.
     Oh, Teressa, Teressa -- Teressa terrible.
