Lyrics
One day a visitor Took a trip through my town We all were dancin' Till he took his beat away Come to think of it He thought of every last detail Slipped out late one night Completely out of sight Left his message Etched into my brain And when the gates are closed On the road of plenty The fist comes poundin' down You feel it everyday It's hard to really know If you are full or empty Here it comes again You think I'm your old friend But now we're not so easily found Me and my old corvette We were flying through the night Chasin' my blonde lover down skyline She saw the buck And her tail lights flashed To avoid a crash It was way too late When I hit the brakes And we went spinnin' With a screeching sound I was talkin' to my friend Tellin' him I lucked out He smiled at me and said I'm glad you feel that way And when I wrote that down On a piece of paper Beneath a garbage heap Down upon the street A mariachi band began to play Up in the gold hotel The money hits the table The heavies are all there That's why the deal goes down With beautiful women All dressed in diamonds and sable Down upon the street Beside a garbage heap A mariachi band began to play In eldorado town There lives a great bullfighter His eyes are screamin' blue His hair is red as blood And when the gate goes up The crowd gets so excited Then he comes dancin' out Dressed in gold lame' He kills the bull And lives another day
