|
There was heat in the air |
|
Cops everywhere you looked |
|
There wasn't a lot |
|
The breaks that you got |
|
You know you took |
|
And I remember wonderin' |
|
Where you've been |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Cashed it in |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Cashed it in |
|
They were playin' |
|
"Desolation Row" on the radio |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Fell from grace |
|
There was amazement on his face |
|
On the night that Eddie failed |
|
Sanity prevailed |
|
It was June or July |
|
When the heat from above beat down |
|
It was famine or drought |
|
When the brothers went out of style uptown |
|
And we was mixin' |
|
Vicks with lemon gin |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Cashed it in |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Cashed it in |
|
They were playin' |
|
"Desolation Row" on the radio |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Made front page |
|
His revolution came of age |
|
He wrote "surrender" on the wall |
|
The night he took the fall |
|
I heard someone say |
|
"He's tryin' to fly" |
|
Like Eddie used to say |
|
"We'll do when we die" |
|
I know someone turned you |
|
For a spin |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Cashed it in |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Cashed it in |
|
They were playin' |
|
"Desolation Row" on the radio |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Fell from grace |
|
There was amazement on his face |
|
On the night that Eddie failed |
|
Sanity prevailed |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Cashed it in |
|
They were playin' |
|
"Desolation Row" on the radio |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Cashed it in |
|
They were playin' |
|
"Desolation Row" on the radio |
|
The night Spanish Eddie |
|
Cashed it in |
|
They were playin' |
|
"Desolation Row" on the radio |
