Temptation to exist   Give me another kiss   Tell me how you love me   A mesmerizing kiss   That I can't resist   Say I'm the way you want me   So I can breathe your perfume   Dancing with you around the room   Long after a masquerade   Stripped of facade and costume      The drag with being born   It's really not a thorn   Baby it's a dagger   Most people would deny   Say it's a piece of pie   To you it doesn't matter   I hear about the sad affairs   Up on the heights of despair   Someone's always perishing   By the self they have assumed      Temptation to exist   Obsession to persist   Death-defying romance   Give me another kiss   Show me what I've missed   Baby, since our last dance   So I can get back in tune   Dancing with you around the room   Long after a masquerade   No facade, no costume
