Spanish Eddie

	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
