Sadie Hawkins

[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 this dress

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 pass on the right in a shift-stick

Pass you a mic for the lipstick

Flash you a smile 'fore I rip this business

So killers, 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]
