Los Lobos Album

Edna million in a drop dead suit
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
I'm full of bourbon, I can't stand up

Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone

Schiffer broke a bottle on morgan's head
And I'm stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head
And through the bars of a cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple knife
Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Admire the view from up on top of the mast

Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, your children are alone

I said hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
House is on fire, your children are alone

Yellow sheets on a hong kong bed
Stazybo horn and a slingerland ride
To the carnival is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside
Edna million in a drop dead suit
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain

Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire, your children are alone

Oh, baby!
Girl, don't pull the rug from under my feet (don't do it baby)
Don't leave, don't leave me so, i'm talking in my sleep
This could be the start of a nightmare
Waking up and not finding you there
It would be more that i could stand

Oh, baby
Girl, don't leave me so i'm pacing the floor (don't do it baby)
Cause that's, that's what i'll do if you close the door
Maybe i've been too hung up on myself
But don't change me by putting my heart on a shelf
Cause that's more than i could stand

Why you wanna leave me?
Why you wanna go?
I promise not
To never never hurt you no more

Oh, please don't leave me
Please don't go
By causin' my heart to ache
Causin' it to break

We, we've still got, a lot of love to give (yeah)
So turn around, baby (turn around)
While there's a lot of life to live
Leavin' me would ruin all of my plans
It would be like tying the both of my hands
And that's more baby than i could stand

Why you wanna leave me?
Why you wanna go?

Blood and Chocolate
I hope you're satisfied what you have done
You think it's over now
But we've only just begun

I asked for water
And they gave me rose' wine
A horse that knows arithmetic
And a dog that tells your fortune

[Chorus:]
It's in your eyes
Uncomplicated

I want to buy you
A big blue Diamel
Cheap white plastic shoes
That don't walk out and don't let in

I want to show you
How I love you
When you're over me
There's no-one above you

[Chorus]

You think it's over now
But this is only the beginning

[Chorus]

Hace algun tiempo
Me preguntaba un chiquillo
Por el significado
De la palabra patria
Me soprendio con su pregunta
Y con el alma en la garganta
Le dije asi

Flor de barrio, hermanito
Patria, son tantas cosas bellas
Como aquel viejo arbol
Que nos habla y renueva
Como el carino que guardas
Despues de muerta la abuela
Patria son tantas cosas bellas

Son las paredes de un barrio
De su esperanza morena
Es lo que lleva en el alma
Como aquel cuando se aleja
Son los martires que gritan
Bandera, bandera bandera bandera

No memorices lecciones
Dictaduras o encierros
La patria no la defines
Los que suprimen a un pueblo
La patria es un sentimiento
En la mirada de un viejo
Son la entera primavera brisa de hermanita nueva
Te contesto, hermanito, Patria son tantas cosas bellas

In the dark who can see his face?
In the dark, who can reach him?
He hides like a child
He hides like a child
Keeps his finger on the trigger
He can't stand the day
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights

Keep the blind down on the window
Keep the pain on the inside
Just watching the dark
Just watching the dark
And he might laugh but you won't see him
As he thunders through the night
Shoot out the Lights
Shoot out the Lights

In the darkness the shadows move
In the darkness the game is real
Real as a gun
Real as a gun
As he watches the streets of the city
And he moves through the night
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights

I know you've come
To tell me that it's over
Oh, oh, well, all right
I'll let you go free

But, baby
Thought it may be over for you
It'll never be over for me

Made up my mind
Not to start crying, oh, oh
But there's more
Than the eye can see

'Cause, baby, inside
My heart is breaking apart
'Cause it'll never be over for me

I'll know every time
I look up at a star, yeah, yeah

Your face is gonna come in view

And every time
The wild wind touches my lip
I'll think of your kiss
And feel so blue

If ever you find
That you were mistaken, oh, oh
No matter how long
That my heart beats

Just come on back
Oh, forget about everything, yes
'Cause it may be
May be over for you, yeah
But it'll never be over for me, oh, no

Playing guitar on the back porch
I sit in my car
While she sings so sad
Marie Marie

Marie Marie
It's so lonely in these farmlands
Please come with me
To the bright lights downtown
Marie Marie

I said, "Hey, pretty girl
Don't you understand
I just want to be your lovin' man"

Marie Marie
The sun is down in the corn fields
The evening is dark
And you sing so sad
Marie Marie

Marie Marie
I got two weeks in back pay
There's gas in my car
And your folks say I must go
Marie Marie

I said, "Hey, pretty girl
Don't you understand
I just want to be your lovin' man"

Marie Marie
Playing guitar on the back porch
I leave in my car
While you sing so sad
Marie Marie
