“I’m a ho? No, you a ho!”
And then we crack up like fragile porcelain boys.
Oh the heat of the Rio sun
Makes us so thirsty, unbuttons us undone.
“Let’s start out on Amoedo,”
I can smell sweet cachaça on your breath.
“Can we take him home?”
“I guess, but I think he likes you much more than me…”

Tonight let’s drink our love away.
Tonight let’s give our love away.

“How do you do it?”
“I guess it works for us, we’re just having fun.”
Tell you the truth, we just bury it.
“Men like us know how to separate our hearts from the free play.”
We save the heart for some other day.

Year after year the party carried on
‘Til we were forced to face what we had done.
While we were spinning wild and knocking over everything
We’d built a wall between us higher than that Cristo Redentor.

Tonight let’s drink our love away.
Tonight let’s give our love away.

“It’s just a game, they don’t mean a thing to me.”
Well, that’s what we said.
“Why should we stop? We can handle it.”
But we couldn’t see what we’d sacrificed for our game
Until our love fell apart like cracked porcelain.
