3am Spanish

On that flight

Land in Spain

Then I took a bus and I took a train

Got down south

Met this man

Mario, with a guitar in his hand

He don't like music

From U.S.

Bite his nails

Practice scales

Metronome plays all night and day

I go out for tea in a flamenco cave

And go

Well it's always night

Well it's always night

Yeah, Coke and rum

Rooftop slums

timpani pipes and gypsy drums

Traded my cash and dropped my class

Rent out a piano behind stained glass

And go

Well it's always night

Green laser light

Down on narrow streets

Say they're selling hash

And I'm selling that

Just makin' grabs

Robbery yeah they're selling out fast

Old folks say that the safer days were the fascist ones

Yeah but I don't know

Well I got the money but the money got me

It was all the same in Spain

Well you loved me but you still lost me

Treating me such a way-ay-ay

I'll make the money but the money made me

It was all the same in Spain

Well I bought the drugs and the drugs bought me

It's no running away-ay-ay

Discotheques don't start till 3

So I'll mess with the [?] in the alpine streets

She's said I always used to be so clean [clearly not the right lyric]

Love's no fun

Say what d'ya mean

She was new to me but not new to herself

Getting real bored with the things she felt

Said this music sucks

I'm down on my luck

Can't get no sleep

When they unload the trucks

On Monday

Tuesday

Friday

Yeah 3 o'clock rolled around

So we went downtown

Hit the Stall but they only played Velvet Underground

I walked in and I just hit the ceiling

Everyone here's in love with a feeling

Go

Live a life at night

Oh a life a night

And so

I know the motto goes

I'll know it 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-ay-ay

I'll make the money but the money made me

It was all the same in Spain

Well I bought the drugs and the drugs bought me

It's no running away

Messed up my life

Cause the time was right

It was so much fun

I was a clean cut child

With the hire cops

Knew my day would come

Oh please

Don't convince me

Already see

Messed up my life

Cause the time was right

And it was so much fun

Wanna go home

A 29 year old

Ex-patriot from

America's South

In light of the background

was the queen of the designer crowds

Must have been the only time

She got turned down

Ha

I got the money but the money got me

It was all the same in Spain

Well you loved me but you still lost me

Treating me such away-ay-ay

I'll make the money but the money made me

It was all the same in Spain

Well I bought the drugs and the drugs bought me

It's no running away

I messed up

My life

Cause the time was right

It was so much fun

I was a clean cut child

With the hire cops

Knew my day would come

Oh even please

Don't convince me

You know I already see

Cause the time was right

And it was so much fun

Cause the time was right

It was so much fun

I was a clean cut child

With the hire cops

Knew my day would come

Oh even please

Don't convince me

You know I already...
