Deadly Tango

The shadows are not sensible
They're lurching with uncertainty
The light moves slowly back and forth

[Chorus]
Oh the tango is a fleeting thing
Oh the tango is a fleeting thing

Two lovers in a drunken sway
In hotel rooms enact a play
But when the morning catches them

[Chorus]
Oh the tango is a fleeting thing
Oh the tango is a fleeting thing

[Bridge]
Flamencos in my dreams
Long black limousines
Human misery is lost up here
Seeding in this sultry air

The filaments have quickly frayed
The fiddler play a twisted song
The limbo turns a freakish trick
And penetrates my heart

The taste is such a fleeting thing
Like insect love before the sting
The aftermath is fickle though

[Chorus]
Oh the tango is a fleeting thing
Oh the tango is a deadly thing
