Silk and poison, it's a long way down the hall
I say I'm leaving, then I'm leaning 'gainst the wall
No me pidas calma, que ya perdรญ el control
Silk and poison, you're the shadow in my soul
You burn like fever, you freeze like ice
You look like heaven, but you're the devil's price
Silk and poison, don't hold me tight
But I stay, I stay, I stay
Glass on the table, a crimson shade of blue
Every reflection leads me back to you
The air is heavy, it's a sweet and humid trap
I'm a wild heart falling in your lap
Tu risa es pรณlvora, mi pecho es el metal
Un choque lento, un incendio natural
The piano's weeping in the corner of the bar
And you're the engine of this broken car
Dime que sรญ, o dime que no
But don't keep me dancing in the "I don't know"
No more riddles, no more lace
Just the truth and your tired face
Silk and poison, it's a long way down the hall
I say I'm leaving, then I'm leaning 'gainst the wall
No me pidas calma, que ya perdรญ el control
Silk and poison, you're the shadow in my soul
You burn like fever, you freeze like ice
You look like heaven, but you're the devil's price
Silk and poison, don't hold me tight
But I stay, I stay, I stay
The city's breathing through the cracks in the door
I've walked this pavement, I've seen this film before
Your hand is steady while mine begins to shake
How much of "almost" can one woman take?
Me miras fijo como quien sabe ganar
Sin mover piezas, sin tener que disparar
I try to run, I try to find the light
But you're the owner of the middle of the night
Si vas a morder, hazlo de una vez
Don't play it safe, don't play it less
No me des tregua, no me des paz
Just give me the fire that you keep behind the mask
Silk and poison, it's a long way down the hall
I say I'm leaving, then I'm leaning 'gainst the wall
No me pidas calma, que ya perdรญ el control
Silk and poison, you're the shadow in my soul
You burn like fever, you freeze like ice
You look like heaven, but you're the devil's price
Silk and poison, don't hold me tight
But I stay, I stay, I stay
A heavy, walking bassline takes the lead. A distorted nylon guitar plays a dark, bluesy solo. Muted trumpet hits emphasize the off-beats. Congas get louder and more aggressive for 8 bars, then drop into a whisper for the voice
ย
I'm a ghost in this rhythm, a bird in a cage
Turning the corners of a dusty page
But when you whisper, the ink begins to flow
And I find reasons not to let you go
Tu olor a tabaco y a noche sin dormir
Es la รบnica cรกrcel donde quiero vivir
I hate the power you didn't even try to have
The sweetest salt upon a bleeding scab
Dรญmelo claro, sin el disfraz
Que tu silencio me quita la paz
Ruby Black is here
If you're the end, let the end be loud
Stop the whispers, clear the cloud
Si vas a incendiar, quรฉmalo todo
If you're just playing, leave me in the mud
Silk and poison, it's a long way down the hall
I say I'm leaving, then I'm leaning 'gainst the wall
No me pidas calma, que ya perdรญ el control
Silk and poison, you're the shadow in my soul
You burn like fever, you freeze like ice
You look like heaven, but you're the devil's price
Silk and poison, don't hold me tight
But I stay, I stay, I stay
Silk and poison, I'm waking up
Empty the bottle, break the cup
No me mires asรญ, I might believe
Silk and poison, and then I leave
