lyrics

There’s wine of the dance floor
And smoke in her hair
I try not to stare
Trying ain’t enough anymore
She grins like a girl, girl moves like a woman
For a moment I’m Chosen
Like Before
See by the window? She’s lit like Guadalupe
And I am a pagan no more.

Then, in his name,
My father cast his stone
Into the Rio
And I the last ripple remain
Now I’m a man in a poor man’s clothing
Both loving and loathing
This debt I must pay
See by the window? She’s lit up like Chavez
And I am no longer a slave

Tonight this place feels like a revival
Tonight, she says, is Cinco de Mayo

We’re here every Friday
Cause she love the blues
In her high heeled shoes
She dances all night
And how will I ask her to lay here beside me
Absolve me, abide me, a burning man’s wife
See by the window? She’s lit like a revival
And I am ready and righteous
See by the window? She’s lit up like Cinco de Mayo
And I am a free man tonight
I am a free man tonight
I am a free man
