lyrics

Our love affair…
It’s always the same old story.
It's a war of film genres?!
Always the same players on the scene...
Me, in a melodramatic mood.
You, always the same busty maid.
“I have a stain on my shirt!”
“I beg you to forgive me!
Put me in handcuffs and spank me if you love my skin!”
“I prefer to whip you, to pay homage to the Roman Empire.
Let me do it until we fall asleep in a blood pollution.
I've had enough of comforting ends, but…”
Every day I see you putting glass fragments in the soup.
You've poisoned me with guile, because
I hung fifteen lambs instead of the chandelier,
only for your sins.
I think this is our last supper.
We eat the bread like traitors.
Outside the snow continues to do monologues for anyone.
