Come on and dance with me
It’s easy if you try
Come on and dance with me
Follow my lead and glide
Slip in the mud
Racing through your blood
You’re as good as gone
Drifting away with eyes half-shut
Come on and dance with me
It’s easy if you try
Come on and dance with me
You’re stepping out of time
It’s a living Hell
Cold sweats, puke, and pain
Your skin goes blue
When you drink the blackened rain
Do you want to dance with me?
It’s easy if you try
Come on and dance with me
As we fall down from the sky
Oh, come on and dance with me
It’s easy if you try
Come on now, dance with me
And I’ll shiver down your spine
The warmth is gone
The rush is fleeting away
You’ve nodded off
For the last time
You’ve come here to dance with me
So give me your best try
You've tread upon my dancing shoes
It’s now your time to die
Come on and dance with me
It’s easy if you try
Now, tell me 'bout your dance with death
Was it worth the high?
Come on and dance with me--

Mon masque !
Je voudrais que cet *****
Soit une longue, lente et délicieuse homélie
Longue, lente et délicieuse
Lente, délicieuse et longue
Dé-li-cieuse, longue et lente
Résurrection de l'âme et de la chair
Interminable chant grégorien
Messe quotidienne trois fois répétée
Et solfiée par nos peaux jumelles et complices
Sous le haut patronage des mânes et des muses
Des saints et des divinités
Qui gouvernent nos mythes.
Je voudrais que nos ombres respirent
Sous nos masques divins et angéliques
Et délient leurs langues de papier mâché et nous instillent en riant
Au nez et à la barbe du Docteur La Peste
Voluptés, petites morts et paix plurielles .

You said you'd give me the moon
on a piece of toast
or at least the sweet-hot peel
of her cinnamon skin.
You said you'd raise from the grave
my heart, the ghost
to fill with black-burnt warmth
that could begin
a beat to bring horned dancers from the trees,
life to lift me lurching from my knees;
a revenant in red
that's what you said
that night in the glimmering swell
before the Fall
but it was Carnivale.
