An all night flight and I land in Spain
Then I took a bus then I took a train
Got down south and I met this man
Mario with a guitar in his hand
He don't like music from U.S
Filed his nails practiced scales
Metronome plays all night and day
Then go out for tea in a flamenco cave
Go where it's always night
Coke and Rum
Roof top slum
Timpani pipes and gypsy drums
Traded my cash and dropped my class
Rent out a piano behind stained glass
Go where it's always night
In green laser light
Down on narrow streets they say they're selling hash but they're not selling that
Just making grabs
Robbery yeah they're selling that fast
The old folks say that the safer days were the fascist ones
Yeah but I don't know
I got the money but the money got me it was all the same in Spain
You loved me but you still lost me treating me such a way
I make no money but the money made me it was all the same in Spain
I bought the drugs and the drugs bought me there's just no running away...
Discotheques don't Start till three
So I met Swedish Edith in the Albicine
She said I was such an age to be so green and loves no fun I said what do you mean?
She was new to me but not new to herself
And getting real bored with the things she felt
She said this music sucks I'm down on my luck I can't get no sleep when they unload the trucks on Monday, Tuesday and Friday
3 O'clock rolled around so we went down town to the Star where they only play the Velvet Underground
I walked in and I just hit the ceiling
Everyone here's in love with a feeling
Go live a life a night one life a night
So I know the motto goes
I know one when I see it
I got the money but the money got me it was all the same in Spain
You loved me but you still lost me treating me such a way
I make no money but the money made me it was all the same in Spain
I bought the drugs and the drugs bought me there's just no running away.
Messed up my life because the time was right
It was so much fun
I was a clean cut child
But the high cops knew my day would come
O Edith please don't convince me
I already see let's blow my life cuz the time is right
It'll be so much fun ...I wouldn't go home
With a 29 year old
Ex patriot form America's South
In light of her background
As queen of the designer crowd
Must have been the only time she got turned down...
I got the money but the money got me it was all the same in Spain
You loved me but you still lost me treating me such a way
I make no money but the money made me it was all the same in Spain
I bought the drugs and the drugs bought me there's just no running away.
Messed up my life because the time was right
It was so much fun
I was a clean cut child
But the high cops knew my day would come
O Edith please don't convince me
I already see let's blow my life cuz the time is right
It'll be so much fun
