One more turn tango

[Verse 1]
Midnight is leaning on the edge of the bar,
Smoke in the mirror, a scar on a star.
You came in slowly like a match in the rain,
Cold as a promise, warm as a flame.
Your eyes were saying what your lips never do,
“Come a little closer, but don’t ask for truth.”
The band kept playing like it knew from the start,
This kind of rhythm was made for the dark.

[Pre-Chorus]
Step to the left, keep your hands clean,
Love is a knife in a velvet sheen.
No need for mercy, no need to pretend,
We lose like strangers, we touch like sin.

[Chorus]
Give me one more turn, one more fire,
One more lie dressed up as desire.
Hold me like a secret, tight and slow,
Like you mean forever, though we both know.
One more turn before the night is gone,
Before the music leaves us all alone.
Don’t say “stay,” don’t say “go,”
Just let the tango make the answer known.

[Verse 2]
Your shadow danced first, then the rest of you,
Black on the floor in a dangerous suit.
Every move measured, every breath precise,
Tender as thunder, sharp as ice.
I know your kind and you know mine too,
We build our kingdoms out of things untrue.
Still when you pull me into that spin,
Even the saints would be tempted by sin.

[Pre-Chorus]
Step to the left, keep your chin high,
Love never begs and it never dies.
It only changes its name and face,
Then leaves a perfume all over the place.

[Chorus]
Give me one more turn, one more fire,
One more lie dressed up as desire.
Hold me like a secret, tight and slow,
Like you mean forever, though we both know.
One more turn before the night is gone,
Before the music leaves us all alone.
Don’t say “stay,” don’t say “go,”
Just let the tango make the answer known.

[Bridge]
We are not innocent, that much is clear,
We came for danger, not for years.
So let the violins cut clean and deep,
Some vows are made for us to never keep.

[Final Chorus]
Give me one more turn, one last flame,
Call it desire or call it blame.
Hold me till the morning starts to show,
Then disappear the way the wild winds blow.
One more turn and let the whole world burn,
Some hearts are lost and never return.
Don’t say “love,” don’t say “no,”
Just let the tango take control.
