Ashtray Heart
Placebo · Battle For The Sun [2009]
Mi corazón de cenicero
Cenicero, cenicero
Mi corazón de cenicero
You are the birth and you are waste
You are the one who took my place
You took a jump into forever
A leap of faith that I could not take
And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero
We were alone before we met
No more forlorn than one could get
How could we know we have found treasure?
How sinister and how correct
And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero
I tore the muscle from your chest
And used it to stub out cigarettes
I listened to your screams of pleasure
And I watched the bedsheets turn blood red
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Cenicero, cenicero (My ashtray heart)
Mi corazón de cenicero
