[Intro: Dessa]
[Verse 1: Dessa] [English translation in italics]
Oye, cierra la puerta [Hey, close the door]
La lucha está afuera [The fight is outside]
Puede esperar una noche más [It can wait one more night]
Baila antes de que te vas [Dance before you go]
Vale, baila antes de que te vas [Alright, dance before you go]
El mundo está quemando [The world is burning]
Necesitamos hacer algo [We need to do something.]
Let's douse the fire with our sweat
Don't get tired on me yet
You can rest when you're dead
All hands to the deck
Let's make this send-off go correct
Toast to the end of the world
Like it's supposed to be seen
Not for sure, so
Kiss the bottle, spin the girl, I forgot
But reconfirmed that life can be fine if you make it sacred
Take a turn, son. Maybe it's a sermon, a prayer
A folded note beneath my chair
But you ready to go? Never gonna know from over there
I'm sick of the sound of my voice
Kickin' around with this noise when one of the boys said
"I don't know what you've got, but baby it looks bad
I don't know what you've got, but baby it looks bad."
[Hook: Dessa]
If there's a damsel in distress
She's too far gone to save, out of time
And it don't get better, baby
You can't talk me down from this decline
You haven't got a chance
But you can ask me to dance
But you can ask me to dance
But you can ask me to, ask me to dance
But you can ask me to dance
[Verse 2: Dessa]
I need a drink, a doctor, a DJ
A shrink, a locksmith, a replay
To clean it up, seven-second delay
Or I'll never get any radio play
Like pa** on the right in a shift-stick
Pa** you a mic for the lipstick
Flash you a smile 'fore I rip this business
So k**ers, hope you've got other interests
Hold hands, 'til the ship goes down
Slow dance, 'til the band gets drowned
Romance, had it in the past
But I couldn't make it last
So you better check lost and found
I've been here before
I know where it goes—it goes down
So lost: my mind, my faith
Found my voice, my way
Lost some friends, some fights
Found that that's alright
Cause a little bit of melancholy
Never really did hurt anybody
Even if it is a sickness, I'm oddly convinced at least it's honest
When life gets so tragicomic
A mattress with no sheets on it
The fact is you have it
The task is to want it
I've been here before
I don't know what you've got
I know where it goes
It looks bad
[Hook: Dessa]
