In a border town, when the lights go down, and the ranchero radio plays,
you won't find me around, in the lights of town, I'll be out where the day meets the shade.
I only came for a holiday, to fit in the Mexican wind.
I only came for the whiskey, but suddenly she walks in.
She wore a dress made of lace, and the light on her face, I felt the room start to shake.
It shook a black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
I only came for the sun, wound up with the moon and the star.
When her eyes met mine, the room filled with Spanish guitar.
A kerosene in my blood, came on like a flood, as I stood to take her away,
to a black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
On a black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
With the skeletons dancing, I stood to take her away, to a black Spanish loveseat,
on the eve of the day of the dead.
I reached out in the dark, and put my hand on her heart,
while the bells of the palm trees swayed,
this way the black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
I only came for the sun, wound up with the moon and the star.
I only came for the sun, wound up with the moon and the star.
A kerosene in my blood, came on like a flood, as I stood to take her away, to a black Spanish loveseat,
to a black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
I only came for the sun, wound up with the moon and the star.
guitar solo
I woke up in a sweat
My legs feeling too weak to stand
There's a pain in my back
And not a bit of grip
In my hands
In my hands
A flash of steel in the night
Left me no time to write
An epitaph to leave on my grave
The church bells rang on a love scene
Behind the bamboo shed
On a black Spanish love scene
Behind the bamboo shed
With the skeletons standing
On the eve of the day of the dead
Did you see one?
Tell him I can't come
I've got a previous engagement I've made
I'm on a black Spanish love scene
Behind the bamboo shed
I'm on a black Spanish love scene
Behind the bamboo shed
I'm on a black Spanish love scene
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind the bamboo shed
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind the bamboo shed
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind the bamboo shed
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Behind a black Spanish love scene
Against a black Spanish love scene
Against a black Spanish love scene
you
you won't find me around, in the lights of town, I'll be out where the day meets the shade.
I only came for a holiday, to fit in the Mexican wind.
I only came for the whiskey, but suddenly she walks in.
She wore a dress made of lace, and the light on her face, I felt the room start to shake.
It shook a black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
I only came for the sun, wound up with the moon and the star.
When her eyes met mine, the room filled with Spanish guitar.
A kerosene in my blood, came on like a flood, as I stood to take her away,
to a black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
On a black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
With the skeletons dancing, I stood to take her away, to a black Spanish loveseat,
on the eve of the day of the dead.
I reached out in the dark, and put my hand on her heart,
while the bells of the palm trees swayed,
this way the black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
I only came for the sun, wound up with the moon and the star.
I only came for the sun, wound up with the moon and the star.
A kerosene in my blood, came on like a flood, as I stood to take her away, to a black Spanish loveseat,
to a black Spanish loveseat, behind the bamboo shade.
I only came for the sun, wound up with the moon and the star.
