6. DANSE DE MORTEM

When I first thought of this track, I thought about all the females that I did wrong back in the day and embodied her into one vengeful she-devil, bent on my destruction. The original title was going to be "Love And A Bullet", but I think the current title is self-explanatory. It's French and Latin (Dance Of Death). The tempo is like a waltz/rock hybrid, with a viola added to the band. Anyone have Miri Ben-Ari's number? Plus, a scornful woman's voice does the poetic in-betweens. Never pick up a woman from the club and expect to use her for the night.

6: DANSE DE MORTEM

(Lead-In (Woman's Voice))

Ah, yes! Welcome to the waltz!

You couldn't escape her for too long, could you?

Close your eyes,

You son of a bitch...

(Laughs)

 

Verse 1:

You're gonna drink this poison

You're gonna dance this dance

You're gonna tell your boys about

The overnight romance

You tell them how you used her

You tell them you indulged

You tell them how you never

Ever

Wanted her at all

 

Bridge:

(Just her body)

The sweet intoxication

(And now your body)

Subject to implications!

 

Chorus:

Welcome to the waltz,

Yeah!

Welcome to the dance!

Welcome to the punishment

For opening your pants

You're one selfish fuck

Whose ran clear up out of luck

So welcome to the

Waltz...

 

Lead-In:

Wait, wait, wait!

Don't tell me you're tired yet!

We've just begun.

You've got plenty of hours left

Before you're out of your

Misery...

 

Verse 2:

She's gonna cut your balls off

And shove them down your throat

She's gonna slice you up and down

Until your sins have choked

Her tears are bittersweet,

Indeed

She rubs them on your skin

She's gonna lick your darkened heart

And tease it with a kiss

 

Bridge:

(Sweet punani)

A night of fornication

(But you'll be sorry)

When they read your invocation!

 

Chorus x2

 

Lead-In:

Oh, but your sorrows are oh, so sweet in my ear


Swore how I was such an easy

Sleazy bitch

But my, my, my, how the tables have turned,

Motherfucker!

Licking your tongue all over me

Claiming I was yours

All yours

And when the sun came

How parting was such sweet sorrow

But we can keep dancing, my sweet!

I have made it so that we can always dance

Forever!

Even when our feet are tired

And our lungs give out

We'll dance!

Dance!

Dance!

(Laughs)

 

Verse 3:

You're gonna drink this poison

You're gonna drink it slow

You're gonna think she's easy

And you're gonna take her home

You're gonna wake up on the floor

Back in that disco room

You're gonna look her in her eyes

And kiss the lips of doom!

 

Bridge:

(Disembodied)

Another liquid patient

(This is how we)

Pay for past relations!

 

Chorus x2

 

Lead-In:

Notice how the clock has broken

And your feet are worn to nubs

You mistook me for a easy whore

To rescue from the club

Resuscitate me with your dick

And freak me with your lies

But payment for your iniquity

The emptiness in your eyes...

The emptiness in your eyes...

The emptiness...

In your...

Eyes...

(Laughs till fade-out)
