History Quotes / TheMasochismTango

->''"I ache for the touch of your lips, dear, \\
but much more for the touch of your whips, dear. \\
You can raise welts \\
like nobody else, \\
as we dance to the Masochism Tango. \\
Let our love be a flame, not an ember. \\
Say it's me that you want to dismember. \\
Blacken my eye. \\
Set fire to my tie, \\
as we dance to the Masochism tango. \\
At your command, \\
before you, here I stand! \\
My heart is in my hand- \\
Eugh. . . \\
It's here that I must be. \\
My heart entreats, \\
just hear those savage beats, \\
and go put on your cleats, \\
and come and trample me! \\
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany, \\
that's why I'm in such exquisite ah-gony. \\
My soul is on fire, \\
it's aflame with desire, \\
which is why I perspire when we tango. \\
You caught my nose \\
in your left castonet, love. \\
I can feel the pain yet, love, \\
every time I hear drums, \\
and I envy the rose \\
that you held in your teeth, love \\
with the thorns underneath love \\
sticking into your gums. \\
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches. \\
The last time I needed twenty stitches, \\
to sew up the gash \\
you made with your lash, \\
as we danced to the Masochism tango. \\
Bash in my brain, \\
and make me scream with pain, \\
then kick me once again, \\
and say we'll never part. \\
I know too well, \\
I'm underneath your spell, \\
so darling, if you smell \\
something burning it's my heart. \\
hic- \\
'scuse me. \\
Take your cigarette from its holder, \\
and burn your initials in my shoulder. \\
Fracture my spine, \\
and swear that you're mine, \\
as we dance to the Masochism tango."''

George who is good to me, and whom I revile; who understands me, and whom I push off; who can make me laugh, and I choke it back in my throat; who can hold me, at night, so that it's warm, and whom I will bite so there's blood; who keeps learning the games we play as quickly as I can change the rules; who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy, and yes I do wish to be happy. George and Martha: sad, sad sad.\\
'''Nick:''' Sad.\\
