Velvet Red Requiem

كلمات الأغنية

(Antonio Banderas heat—rich, wounded, operatic) Song: “I Know the Game” I stand in the back every night Watching the light kiss her face She takes my roses like payment Then leaves me alone in this place I see the way that she uses me Sweet little lies on her tongue She thinks I’m just another mark Another soft-hearted one But I know the game, Naomi I know the smile is a blade I know you’re paying off Chad’s debts In this mafia-run charade Still I keep coming back here Bringing flowers like a fool Because even knowing the knife’s in your hand I’d rather bleed than be cool You’re a shark in red sequins Climbing hard for the top Vegas is calling your name And I’m just the man you can’t stop So play me soft Play me slow I’ll take every pretty lie Keep the sugar, keep the distance I’ll still be the one standing by I know you’ll never love me I know I’m just a means But tonight when you look at me soft I almost believe in the dream (The band crashes into a final, aching swell. Porky stays in the light, flowers gone, heart already spent.)
