《The Masochism Tango》歌词

[00:00:00] Another familiar type of love song is the passionate or

[00:00:02] fiery variety, usually in tango tempo, in which the singer

[00:00:07] exhorts his partner to haunt him and taunt him and, if at

[00:00:12] all possible, to consume him with a kiss of fire. This

[00:00:24] particular illustration of this genre is called

[00:00:27] „The Masochism Tango".

[00:00:41] I ache for the touch of your lips, dear

[00:00:45] But much more for the touch of your whips, dear

[00:00:50] You can raise welts

[00:00:51] Like nobody else

[00:00:53] As we dance to the Masochism Tango

[00:01:01] Let our love be a flame, not an ember

[00:01:05] Say it's me that you want to dismember

[00:01:10] Blacken my eye

[00:01:12] Set fire to my tie

[00:01:14] As we dance to the Masochism Tango

[00:01:21] At your command

[00:01:23] Before you here I stand

[00:01:25] My heart is in my hand. . .

[00:01:28] (Yeechh!)

[00:01:36] It's here that I must be

[00:01:39] My heart entreats

[00:01:40] Just hear those savage beats

[00:01:42] And go put on your cleats

[00:01:44] And come and trample me

[00:01:49] Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany

[00:01:53] That's why I'm in such exquisite agony

[00:01:57] My soul is on fire

[00:01:59] It's aflame with desire

[00:02:02] Which is why I perspire when we tango

[00:02:06] You caught my nose

[00:02:10] In your left castanet, love

[00:02:15] I can feel the pain yet, love

[00:02:18] Ev'ry time I hear drums

[00:02:22] And I envy the rose

[00:02:26] That you held in your teeth, love

[00:02:31] With the thorns underneath, love

[00:02:34] Sticking into your gums

[00:02:39] Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches

[00:02:43] The last time I needed twenty stitches

[00:02:47] To sew up the gash

[00:02:49] You made with your lash

[00:02:51] As we danced to the Masochism Tango

[00:02:54] Bash in my brain

[00:02:56] And make me scream with pain

[00:02:58] Then kick me once again

[00:03:00] And say we'll never part

[00:03:02] I know too well

[00:03:04] I'm underneath your spell

[00:03:06] So, darling, if you smell

[00:03:07] Something burning, it's my heart. . . (hiccup)

[00:03:10] 'Scuse me!

[00:03:11] Take your cigarette from its holder

[00:03:15] And burn your initials in my shoulder

[00:03:20] Fracture my spine

[00:03:21] And swear that you're mine

[00:03:23] As we dance to the Masochism Tango
