[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
There was heat in the air
~#**************#~
And cops everywhere you looked
~#**************#~
There wasnt a lot
~#**************#~
So the breaks that youve got, you know you took
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
And I remember wonderin where youve been
~#**************#~
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
It was June or July
~#**************#~
When the heat from above beat down
~#**************#~
It was famine or drought
~#**************#~
When the brothers went out of style uptown
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
And we was mixin Vicks with lemon gin
~#**************#~
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
I heard someone say, “Hes trying to fly”
~#**************#~
Like Eddie used to say, “Well do when we die”
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
I know someone turned you for a spin
~#**************#~
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
~#**************#~
They were playin “Desolation Row” on the radio
~#**************#~
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
~#**************#~
They were playin “Desolation Row” on that radio
~#**************#~
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
~#**************#~
They were playin “Desolation Row” on the radio
~#**************#~
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
~#**************#~
They were playin “Desolation Row” on the radio
