lyrics

Two crows, disguised as doves, sailed across the open water to the shores above Madrid and hid. Two criminals, they flee their painful history of blasphemy and lackadaisical decrees to appease expectations of engagement, matrimonial arrangements, no matter how extensive, they could never fill the void. Well disguised with lies contrived to fool the unwary lot, but no degree of treachery could mask a murder amidst the flock. Sultry skin, wrapped tightly in red satin. Vivacious curves, they twist and turn and tempt his nerves to act out on lusty impulses. He convulses to the touch of her lips, what a hot heavy kiss, as she struts her stuff in high heeled pumps and risque lingerie. What a scene! Would the bartender please pass a glass of confidence to the bride's groom. It's what he needs to continue the consummation of his engagement. Right away, it's obvious that he's not the man he thought that he could be. Linen slips from the shoulders down to the hips, as shaky hands trace ancient maps to learn her curves, despite having worked up a cold sweat, he stands erect, from the tips of his toes to the tip of his nose. Oh, he's trembling while she's pretending, how polite of her to fake it! Watch as Miss Innocent sheds her old skin; gives up a life full of virtue for sin. The alcohol flows through her veins like a catalyst, numbing her senses and conquering abstinence. What a scene! Would the bartender please pass a glass of obstinence to the bride soon. It's what she needs to continue the obligations of her engagement. Right away, it's obvious that he's not the man she thought he'd grow to be. It's amazing what a drink can do when it slips into the bloodstream. It's amazing what this drink can do when it slips into their bloodstreams.
