Lyrics for Santa Ana by Bruce springsteen:
| | | Artist: | Bruce springsteen |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Santa Ana | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 178 | | | | Lyrics: | From the tin rooftop the little boy did watch
The procession down through town
Through the
museum where Daniel whupped the Devil
With them boys from the underground
Where the Giants
of Science fight for tight control
Over the wildlands of New Mexico
Sam Houston's ghost's
in Texas fighting for his soul
And the townsfolk rest uneasy beneath the guns of Kid
Cole
And the kid says: "Hey, where's Santa Ana
He who could romance the dumb into
talking
Take a chance with me tonight, my contessa,
If it don't work out I ain't lame, I
can walk"
Now some folks think cancer's taken to the streets of this town
But Sandy eats
her candy and then lays her money down
Them cats are in from the canyons to strut their stuff
in town
But there's only secret sinners here
Lord, there's only secret thieves
Only a
fool would try to save
What the desert chose to leave
And hey there
se¡èorita,
With your playboys in their Spanish bandanas
French cream won't soften
those boots, baby
French kisses will not break your heart
Oh painted night set free
with light
Glows outside the Rainbow Saloon
Matching braces with a Spanish
lady
'Neath a graduation moon
No more colleges, no more coronations
Some punk's idea
of a teenage nation
Has forced Santa Ana to change his station
From soldier to
cartoon
And the Giants of Science spend their days and nights
Not with wives, not with
lovers, but searchin' for the lights
They spotted in the desert on their helicopter
flights
Just to be lost in the dust and the night
Hey my Contessa, in your juke joint rags
you always bring candy for the kids
Come waltz with me tonight se¡èorita
'Cause only
fools are alone on a night like this | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
