Tango Indigesto Lyrics - Singles - Romanovsky And Phillips

(Breaking up scenes and bad food go together so well, don't they? 

Thanks to Jonathan and Darlene Edwards for the inspiration.) 

In a Mexican restaurant I waited for you 

For an hour I waited and anticipated 

A fabulous dinner for two 

You suggested a booth in the dark 

"How romantic," I thought 

"I'm sorry," you told me, then looked at me coldly 

Thank heaven the salsa was hot 

"Well how 'bout a drink?" you asked 

I said, "That would be fine" 

Then I said, "Cut the drama" 

As the band played "La Bamba" 

For the seventeenth time 

And the mariachis played 

And the plastic palm trees swayed 

And the turquoise statue of Mary was turning to blue 

You were trashing our relationship 

As I choked on a nacho chip 

You told me I'd have to get used to a life without you 

Then the waiter came over to us 

With cocktails for two 

And all I could think as he set down my drink 

Was that I'd like to dump it on you 

You proceeded to twist the knife 

Or that's how it seemed 

As I sipped my gazpacho 

You said, "You're not macho enough 

For the man of my dreams" 

What the hell was I doing there 

With my heart on my sleeve? 

He was being so rude 

But right then the food came and I couldn't leave 

And the mariachis played 

And the plastic palm trees swayed 

And the turquoise statue of Mary was turning to blue 

You were slashing our relationship 

With each Marguerita sip 

But I couldn't begin to imagine a life without you 

We ate dinner in silence then 

And I felt like a wreck 

Then halfway through my enchilada 

I got the bravado to ask for the check 

"Well I think I should leave," said I 

"I don't want any scenes 

It's too late for questions, I've got indigestion 

And not just from eating the beans" 

"What did you expect," I said 

"Yes, of course I am hurt 

No, don't try to console me 

You've got guacamole all over your shirt" 

And the mariachis played 

And the plastic palm trees swayed 

And the turquoise statue of Mary was turning to blue 

Cashing in our relationship 

I felt a smile return to my lips 

And I saw a new life before me, a life without you 

Then I pushed away my tortilla 

Got up and said, "Guess I'll see ya" 

'Cause I saw a new life that was free'a 

A life without you
