In response to a recent request, I have transcribe Tom Lerher's Masochism
Tango.  I did it from a bad tape of the song being played on the Doctor
Demento show, so please excuse any errors.

	    Masochism Tango

I ache for the touch of your lips, dear;
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear;
You can raise welts, like nobody else, 
As we dance to the masochism tango!

Let our love be a flame not an ember;
Say it's me that you want to dismember;
Blacken my eye, set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the masochism tango!

At your command, 
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand...  (Yech!)
It's here that I must be.

My heart entreats, 
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats, 
And come and trample me.

Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany;
That's why I'm in such exsquisite agony.
My soul is on fire, it's aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire when we tango!

You caught my nose in your left castanet, love;
I can feel the pain yet, love; every time I hear drums.
And I envy the rose, that you held in your teeth, love;
With the thorns underneath, love, sticking into your gums.

You eyes cast a spell that bewitches,
The last time I needed twenty stiches,
To sew up the gash,
You made with your lash,
As we danced to the masochism tango.

Bash in my brain,
And make me scream with pain,
Then kick me once again,
And say we'll never part.

I know too well,
I'm underneath your spell,
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, it's my heart.  (urp. Excuse me!)

Take your cigarette from it's holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you're mine,
As we dance to the masa-chism tango!!
