Ashtray Heart - Placebo

Ashtray Heart - Placebo





Lyrics:

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 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 watch 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

Description:

I've never really known any English bands, but Placebo has become the first English band I've discovered. I came to know this song by a commercial for a cellphone. At first I didn't understand the lyrics at the climax, and no matter how much I tried to guess there would be no results matching to the actual song; I eventually got to know the song's title by a friend telling me. I still don't understand what "Mi corazon de cenicero" means.
