Arab Strap El Paso Song
a? glance
lets me know you know I'm leaving
I've watched you sway and dance
for the best part of the evening
you skipped past once or twice
so close I heard you humming
and? my favorite?
well darling just you keep it coming
most of my heart has been cleared
and what's left is mostly maimed
but the tiny part that feels alright
fell in love with you tonight
I'm sure I was looking cool
and i'm sure you would've thought that too had I
not? out like a fool
when you were giving me the glad eye
I had planned to ask your name
and say my final cheery ho ho
but all i could proclaim
was donde esta el?
my heart's been conquered and tamed
frozen and roasted and framed
and if it can be where it should be
just let me know then where it could be
but that cheeky sideways glance you threw
is probably just what you'd do
when you are so relieved to see
the back of a past lech like me
