A Smile Like a Flame Lyrics

[Intro]

[Hook: Massive Attack - Paradise Circus]
Love is like a sin, my love
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again

[Verse 1: OnCue]
I know you miss me
Put your lips to me and please kiss me
I know we ain't good, is he?
I make your heart beat won't get dizzy
You get dizzy
You toss and turn at night
Cause I know that you want this pipe
Cause I know that it make you feel right
I'm the only one you trust
And there's so much lust
And they don't understand us and

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I always knew you would turn to me
With an urgency to the third degree
When you were gone it was hurting me
Of all your friend you're the one who see me
Me for being me
It go room after room, baby
Key after key
And after we're done, you light your cigarette
But you know it ain't as good as what we just did
You know that we in love
Nothing swept under the rug
Spending money on me just like it's nothing
[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Oh, I know all your friends say no
So every time we creep on the low
Cause you don't want no one to know
No one to know
The true love between us
Baby, you the Venus to my Mars
You're gonna see me riding in those cars
You're gonna see me hanging with those stars
Addictions gone too far

[Verse 4]
Yeah, uh, oh baby yeah I know you need that
So I'm beggin' you to relapse
I'm the one for you, can you see that
Take a hit of this and relax
Oh so seductive, yet oh so destructive
When you with me you say fuck it
No care in the world, no responsibilities
No obstacles, hindering possibilities
Of you being with me mirrors below your teeth
Plug one side of your nose and breathe deep
I love you baby, I love you girl
I'ma penetrate, and then you'll hurl
If my heart was an ocean, you're my pearl
Let me take you 'round the world and back again
I'm your everything, your cocaine to your mescaline
Heroin to your oxycontin, you was just practicin'
You were high on life, but I want you in the after in
Your nose is bleeding baby let me be your napkin
I want to be your last kiss so nothing comes after it
[Hook]
