Lyrics
Burlesque
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I met her in a bar in Barcelona
She introduced herself, said her name was Mona
She asked me if I'd like a littel company
Maybe some blow a little ectascy
Of course I'm not the kind that would ever refuse
I had time to kill and nothing to lose
This is nothing new this is nothing grotesque
Come on
All we're gonna do is
Is dance the burlesque
So we walked through the streets back to my hotel
Where I gave her head and I did it so well
Then we lay on the bed and smoked a cigarette
Shooting the breeze about what I forgot
And then she's held her breath and said
I'm dying for you
I'm coming baby won't you die a little for me too?
This is nothing new this is nothing grotesque
Come on come on now
All we're gonna do is
Is dance the burlesque
The older I get the more I wanna live
The less I have the more I wanna give
And the further I fall the higher I wanna climb
And the harder it is the more I wanna make it mine
Come on now
I love to watch you move
Love to watch you undress
Come on, come on now
I love to watch you dance
Love to see you burlesque
Come on, come on now
This is nothing new this is nothing grotesque
Come on come on now
And dance the burlesque with me
