I ACHE
FOR THE TOUCH OF
YOUR LIPS DEAR
BUT MUCH MORE
FOR THE TOUCH OF YOUR
WHIPS DEAR
YOU CAN RAISE WELTS
LIKE NOBODY ELSE
AS WE DANCE TO
THE MASOCHISM TANGO
LET OUR LOVE
BE A FLAME
NOT AN EMBER
SAY IT'S ME
THAT YOU WANT
TO DISMEMBER
BLACKEN MY EYE
SET FIRE TO MY TIE
AS WE DANCE TO
THE MASOCHISM TANGO
AT YOUR COMMAND
BEFORE YOU HERE
I STAND
MY HEART IS IN MY HAND
UGH
IT'S HERE THAT I MUST BE
MY HEART ENTREATS
JUST HEAR THOSE
SAVAGE BEATS
AND GO PUT ON
YOUR CLEATS
AND COME AND
TRAMPLE ME
YOUR HEART IS
HARD AS STONE
OR MAHOGANY
THAT'S WHY
I'M IN SUCH
EXQUISITE AH-GONY
MY SOUL IS ON FIRE
IT'S AFLAME
WITH DESIRE
WHICH IS WHY
I PERSPIRE
WHEN WE TANGO
YOU CAUGHT MY NOSE
IN YOUR LEFT CASTANET
LOVE
I CAN FEEL THE PAIN YET
LOVE
EVERY TIME
I HEAR DRUMS
AND I ENVY THE ROSE
THAT YOU HELD
IN YOUR TEETH LOVE
WITH THE
THORNS UNDERNEATH
LOVE
STICKING INTO
YOUR GUMS
YOUR EYES CAST A SPELL
THAT BEWITCHES
THE LAST TIME I NEEDED
TWENTY STITCHES
TO SEW UP THE GASH
YOU MADE
WITH YOUR LASH
AS WE DANCED TO
THE MASOCHISM TANGO
BASH IN MY BRAIN
AND MAKE ME
SCREAM WITH PAIN
THEN KICK ME
ONCE AGAIN
AND SAY
WE'LL NEVER PART
I KNOW TOO WELL
I'M UNDERNEATH
YOUR SPELL
SO DARLING IF YOU SMELL
SOMETHING BURNING
IT'S MY HEART
HUC 'SCUSE ME
TAKE YOUR CIGARETTE
FROM ITS HOLDER
AND BURN YOUR INITIALS
IN MY SHOULDER
FRACTURE MY SPINE
AND SWEAR
THAT YOU'RE MINE
AS WE DANCE TO
THE MASOCHISM TANGO
