The rapture of the dance chimes darkly
Around us in the tournament of bodies
That have already known each other a long time
Lusting, sweating, uninhibited
I caught your eye
It shines pulsatingly at me
Light moves to music
My heart beats for you
[Refrain:]
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could
Dry air on the podium
The poet babbles and lulls us
A glimmer of light gathers, stops us
We're standing alone
My table here and yours over there
Our fear as a barrier
In between lies an ocean
Of sensual thoughts
[Refrain:]
And we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could
Are thoughts really free?
Are desire and lust enough?
Then I don't have to do anything
Perhaps you'll come to me
But we stand there and drink
[Refrain:]
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, yes, we could
But we stand there and drink, to hell with embellishment
We stand there and drink, thus we could, we could
