Lyrics The Masochism Tango

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
Yeechh
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 agony
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 yo-o-our 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 that 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
Hic, '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
