Hola Guapa

hola guapa soy yo
did you hear I had to go?
hit by a bus just the other day
didn't make a fuss, well anyway...
you'll get my ring
wear it from your neck
try not to choke on it
ah what the heck...
hola guapa it's me again
guess what honey they dig my sin
ain't no warm glow just a clown or two
did you miss your show? well boo hoo hoo...
you've got my heart
save it for a rainy day
or cook it on the grill
ah what the hey...
you'll get my money
I wish it was more
are you happy honey?
what's a husband for?
adiós guapa I gotta run
it's been real, too much fun

Elena

every time I see you Elena I go wild
you so very near to me Elena keeps me riled
I see your light glowing below
are you home or giving a show?
Elena I wish I could let you know...
every time I hear your name Elena
well I get that sweet taste of fresas con crema
I'm going mad with you so close
you're like a shot of the perfect dose
I'm ready oh I'm ready the devil knows...
every time he sees you... Elena
he wants to be with you.. Elena
this old heart is ready to bleed
for a new love why can't you be
the one for me... Elena?

Last Blue Day
03:45
|
|||
the cats are hungry
I feed them their fill
and take a long walk
right over the hill
it's my last blue day
a double rainbow
appears from above
down to the valley
to the city I love
it's my last blue day
it's my last blue day
darkness greets me
as I open my door
the rope on the crossbeam
hangs to the floor
it's my last blue day
I hear a dog barking
as I crawl into bed
my books are my lovers
it's all been said
it's my last blue day
it's my last blue day

Soy Un Hombre
06:01
|
|||
I'm a man
who has always loved you
no matter what the world had to say
but you decided to leave
with another less worthy than me
so now you see the truth
written in front of you
soy un hombre
que siempre te ha amado
no importa lo que el mundo tenga que decir
pero tú decidiste dejarme
por otro menos digno que yo
y ahora tendrás la verdad
escrita en tu frente
you know I've been all over this world
and I've seen the sun shine so bright
but I never met another girl
who kept me up every night

The Whores Above
04:49
|
|||
I found a baby in the street
took her home she cleaned up sweet
threw her in a pot with yesterday's wine
now I'm feeling superfine
you're the one I used to love
now I'm dancing with the whores above
and rain on you every chance I get
don't forget to pick up the check
I lost my mind on an overpass
tried to jump but they snatched me back
they threw me in a room with yesterday's news
held my breath and wailed the blues
I found a kitty in the street
took her home she cleaned up so sweet
threw her in the tub with yesterday's wine
and now I'm feeling superfine
oh so fine
plain out of my mind
you're the one I used to love
now I'm playing footsie with the whores above
I love them China girls too...
hell I love every woman except you

All Over You
02:16
|
|||
I bought you a chocolate ice cream cone
but you had to answer your phone
now it's all over you
I heard you cried when our boy left home
but baby you still got your Cuban toad
has your dream come true?
I'm all over you
no one cares that your hair ain't grey
there's younger girls that want to play
and they laugh at you
I'm all over you
watch me fly guitar in tow
there's so much you'll never know
has your dream come true?
I'm all over you
I'm all over you

Name Hog
02:18
|
|||
I'm listening man
have you got something to say?
because you make a new record
every other day every other day
you're just a name hog
we all know that's true
tonight are you playing as the Dylans?
or Waterloo or Waterloo?
yeah I know I can hear you okay
but the songs you're singing
mean nothing today
nothing fella... go away!
still I know the kids are out there
so come and blow my mind
I'll try to catch you at The Basement
the very next time the very next time
you're gonna blow my mind blow my mind
I'll even wait in line...

Zipolite
06:22
|

over the mountain they say there's beach
with two deserted islands just out of reach
oh yeah... uh huh
and down from Seattle there came a surfing dude
with a head full of voices and a stomach full of 'ludes
oh no... oh no
one day he went a swimming way out past the break
to the black island he had a deal to make
oh yeah... uh huh
if you seek salvation well never mind the lord
my thoughts will always guide you this machete is your sword
oh no... oh no
all these hippies camping they're nude in the sand
doing yoga in the moonlight and chanting to the band
oh yeah... uh huh
sacrifice by morning and take their money too
buy yourself a burger it'll taste better than you knew
oh no... oh no
now he lives in Puerto and he rents his fins and boards
he's always got a smile he believes he's the lord
oh yeah... uh huh
he keeps that machete handy and he's waiting for the day
the voices say they're hungry they need to get paid
oh no... not again

Over My Shoulder
03:42
|
|||
once there was you and then there was me
dancing across time... infinity
no one really knows how the story goes until it's over
I can't stop looking over my shoulder
you were the girl I wanted to be
out in the world acting so free
no one really knows where the river flows until you get there
I can't stop looking for a safe shelter
once there was love so easy to see
but tears of shame rained down on me
no one really knows how the story goes until it's over
I can't stop looking over my shoulder

The Knife
05:58
|
|||
don't ask me what it means to live a good life
I've wasted so many years sharpening the knife
I've been luckier than most, swam in an ocean or two
and I've had exalted feelings that sometimes were true
I tried to pay attention and be aware
that in the end we're just a prayer
so here we are together all alone
with only our dreams to carry us home
