"The Tango Song" was written by Aleister Crowley with music by Bernard Page; featured in the sketch called "The Tango" published in Equinox Vol I, No 9 in March 1913.
"What is money to the bliss
Of the honey of a kiss?
What are rank and fame and fashion
To the ecstasy of passion?
"Chorus."
Give me dancing!
Give me wine!
Bright eyes glancing ---
Yours in mine!
Kisses sucking
Up my breath ---
Give me passion!
Give me death!
Were the town of Paris mine,
Its renown should drown in wine
I would pay the land of France
For a day and night of dance.
"Chorus"
Dreams entrancing float above
Music, dancing, wine and love.
Sober sinks the sobbing breath;
Smiles the sphinx of sleep and death."
"Chorus."
