In walks the villain of this tale The door closing silent behind you I smile and I offer you something to drink In the hopes that a taste will remind you That poison goes better with grenadine That deceit's always lovely with lime That bitterness can be so sweet When it's served in the right place and at the right time And we'll toast to a lifetime of happiness And we'll catch up on mutual friends Yes we'll laugh with good cheer and not mention that we're Just a means to each of our ends And by midnight you'll be so convinced That all of our time apart was some mistake That I'll sigh and I'll stand and I'll hold out my hand Once more for your memory's sake
I'll hold you my love and never let go I'll hold you my love and I'll never tire I'll hold you my love by the throat I'll hold you my love over the fire
So breathe with me, love; only love will work now Hold onto my love like it was stolen I'll burn with your love like I was Birkenau I'll conquer your love like you were Poland I'll act on my love like Pontius Pilate I'll give you my love like I was Brutus I'll radiate love like Three Mile Island I'll prove you my love like I was Judas
