Lyrics

Ashtray Heart

Mi cenicero, mi cenicero Mi corazon de cenicero You are the burden to our ways You are the one who took my place You took a jump into forever A leap of faith 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 Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero My ashtray heart Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero You were alone before we met No more forlorn than one could get How could we know we had 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 Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero My ashtray heart Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero My ashtray heart Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero I tore the muscle from your chest And used it to stub out cigarettes I listened to your screams of pleasure Now watch the bedsheets turn blood red Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero My ashtray heart Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero My ashtray heart Mi cenicero, mi cenicero My ashtray heart Mi corazon de cenicero
