Bilingual
I can hear the turning of the key
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
Oh, something's telling me I wear the ball and chain
ย
My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
He's always off somewhere when I need him most
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
But my heart is tellin' me I love ya still
ย
I come back to the town from the flaming moon
I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon
I love to see you dress before the mirror
Won't you let me in your room one time, before I disappear?
ย
Everybody's wearing a disguise
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
But me, I can't cover what I am
Wherever the children go I'll follow them
ย
I can't play the game no more, i can't abide
By their stupid rules, which get me sick inside
They've been made by men who've given up the search
Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church
ย
I march in the parade of liberty
But as long as I love you I'm not free
How long must I suffer such abuse
Won't you let me see you smile, before I cut you loose?
ย
Send out for St. John the Evangelist
All my friends are drunk, they can be dismissed
My head says that it's time to make a change
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange
ย
So step lightly darling, near the wall
Put on your heavy makeup and your shawl
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it
