lyrics

Farewell Senhorita
I guess I’m gonna miss you
But I can’t wait you take too long
You say that life is full of rules
And liberty is just for fools
Equality, its all the same to me
Sweet like you always seem
Crazy like you’ve always been
All the things you mean to me
Down where the river flows
There’s a place we used to go
My Senhorita and me

They’re slicing up the buddha
With their blunt and with their bloody knives
Telling us they’ll make our lives
A better place to be
And me I can’t be staying
With all these fools a praying
For a place that none of them have seen
Down the cantina
There’s my sweet Senhorita
She loved me even when my
Heart was down
She took me to the river
And washed me in the water
And held me even when I thought
I’d drown

You can’t ever let it be
Your people always charge a fee
Everyone in this room belongs
And there’s no place for me
Your endless quest for sainthood
Interpreted by Hollywood
These houses of the holy
In the hills above the sea
Wrapped in his broken wings
The angel takes his time to think
Standing on a corner
With his suitcase and a sign
I’m pushing on this open door
So everybody hit the floor
I’ve returned to take what’s mine
Yes everybody hit the floor
I’m using on this open door
I’ve returned to take what’s mine
