"Black Lipstick" was the first single released in advance of Powerman 5000's album The Noble Rot. Frontman Spider One told Vents Magazine that he believed the song was the first they wrote for the album and that it set the tone for the sound they were after. He said he was channeling Peter Murphy, frontman of goth rock band Bauhaus, in his vocal.
The song is about an unexpected street encounter and hookup with a strange woman who leaves black lipstick on Spider One's sheets.
As you laid down on the bed Then you started to cry (Then you started to cry) And sang Bela Lugosi's dead Bela Lugosi, was an actor best known for his parts in horror films, especially the 1931 Dracula film. Peter Murphy's band Bauhaus is known for their vampiric classic "Bela Lugosi's Dead."
