Spanish Eddie Lyrics - Singles - Branigan Laura

There was heat in the air 

And cops everywhere you looked 

So there wasn't a lot 

And the breaks that you got You know you took 

And I remember wonderin' Where you been 

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in 

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in 

They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio 

The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace 

There was amazement on his face 

On the night that Eddie failed Sanity prevailed 

It was June or July 

When the heat from above beat down 

It was famine or drought 

When the brothers went out Of syle uptown 

And we was mixin' Vicks with lemon gin 

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in 

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in 

They were playin "Desolation Row" On the radio 

The night Spanish Eddie made front page 

His revolution came of age 

He wrote "Surrender" on the wall 

The night he took the fall 

I heard someone say "He's tryin' to fly" 

Like Eddie used to say We'll do when we die 

I know someone turned you For a spin 

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in 

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in 

They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio
