Dirty Chai Red Light Tango
Oh, there walked a woman wrapped in crimson lace
Lips kissed that burned but never showed the face
I saw her shadow in a red window glow
Silhouette of honeyed skin drew men like flies
Still I could not avert her piercing eyes
Madam arachnid drew me near
You could hear
She was singing
La da da de da
La da da die
Come lay your green down by my red light
La da da de da
La da da die
Come through my window love me tonight
Love she’s selling
Love I’m buying
Can’t escape her song in my mind
Love I’m buying
Love she’s selling
She’s not real but no one is telling
Through the velvet curtain into neon glare
She smeared her makeup across my sinful stare
And pressed my body to her window
And oh, saw my reflection in that purple haze
Lost all affection to the cold embrace
Forced me down and now
Hear me singing
La da da de da
La da da die
Come lay your green down by my red light
La da da de da
La da da die
Come through my window love me tonight
Love she’s selling
Love I’m buying
Can’t escape her song in my mind
Love I’m buying
Love she’s selling
She’s not real but no one is telling
La da de da da die
She sang
La da de da da die
We say
La da de da da die
Her love
La da de is a lie
Lie!
La da da de da
La da da die
Come lay your green down by my red light
La da da de da
La da da die
Come through my window love me tonight
La da da de da
La da da die
Come lay your green down by my red light
La da da de da
La da da die
Come through my window love me tonight
Love she’s selling
Love I’m buying
Can’t escape her song in my mind
She’s not real but no one is telling
No one
La da dee da da die
Die
