Lyrics - Spanish Eddie by 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
