(Learn How to Play Castanets Like a Pro with Ensemble Espanol)
V1: In the plaza de Mexico, Corrida de Toros
Pasillo around the ring, until they release the bulls
Charging banderillas in their tercio de varies
Dancing around the horns, with every step in the fauna
Matador confronts with Capote of magenta and gold
Bulls are colorblind and just keep charging towards the goal
Ch. Before the blood bleeds out
With each dance the fire in his eyes glow
Before the blood drains out
The crowd scream 'Ole' for a show
V2: Picador gallops around the ring, armed with vara
The lance stabs into the morello, first blood hits the floor
Lowers his head and horns, toward the banderilla
Bull keeps fighting for his soul, but the crowd wants more

V3: Matador enters the ring, muleta and a sword
Performs the estocada, pulls the descabello to pierce the heart
Stabs the morello with the estoque
But just can't land the final blow x 2
Don keeps fighting for his soul x 2
The crowd throws flowers into the ring below
Indulto x 2

Hangman, now you've got our attention
Is there something more than gravity weighing on your mind
Well you've got yer friends
But you say "They never listen"
Can't think of anything they might say
That's gonna change yer mind
Ch: It seems to me you've reached that point.
There's no turning back
Hangman, yer problems too few to mention
Should I push the stool in and let you know
Your still alive ?
Gasp again, then tell us all your reasons
Why no one understands
Why it's best for you not to hang around
Hangman

Don't cha think it's about time
We admit what's really going on round here
The truth is that your lies
Have all caught up to mine
Just try to look me in the eyes
CH: Yeah, take that vow
Promise that you'll never listen
To the words I'm sayin to you now
Lay back down, pretend this isn't happening
to you now
The funny thing about time
It's supposed to heal but you just keep scratchin'
Way down inside, your excuses as to why
It's not a problem with those tears in yer eyes
CH: Yeah, take that vow
Promise that you'll never listen
To the words I'm sayin to you now
Just lay down, believe the world stopped turning
For you now
CH: Yeah, take that vow
Even when yer eyes are open
You don't see nothing anyhow
Fill the studio with sand
Believe that yer Brian Wilson
Your reality just don't apply to me anyhow

Do you remember the crash ?
How you couldn't sleep for weeks
The last days before
You finally fell to your knees
I'm lost now I'm found
In the bottom of a bottle of cheer
Your friends aren't around
to see who shed all those tears
CH: Me, I just keep walking away...from it all
Mile Marker 69
The more you push the clouds away
The more it's gonna rain
In your side Theres a thorn
Man, its eating you alive
But dealing with the pain is the only way
It's gonna heal
And I don't look back
The days the years the weeks
Seems like ya waste more time
Cryin about what life shouldn't be
I'm lost now I'm found
Did you forget that your living
Despite all these things
I guess it depends what you'll believe.

I don't wanna go home
I don't wanna stay here
I don't wanna see our love explode
Then fall like ashes in the air
I don't wanna be some mistake your making
When it's all said n' done
I don't wanna roll the dice
I don't wanna gamble with your tears
I don't want a love that's cold as ice
I want a love that's crystal clear
I don't wanna be some game your playing
When it's all said n' done
I want to see a light shine
On your face when I am near
I want to be the only one
That you call out to in times of fear
I just wanna be the love your making
When it's all said n' done x 2

You have to be joking
They wouldn't do what you said
Oh, my vision is blurred again
You have to be kiddin' me
They wouldn't do those unspeakable things
Oh, my Jesus
It's worse than you think
Stood here in the morning
Got no science to explain
Seems to me that God and the devil
Are both the same
You have to be lyin'
They wouldn't do what you told me about
Oh, my vision is blurred again [2x]

There is a growing
Golden light
a flower unfolding
Behind the mirror of your eyes
If an angel could hold it
In his polished white hand
I know he'd release it
Like a bird to the sky
Now you are the warrior
Who will conquer this land
On a horse made of clouds
You will scatter the sands
Some people say
God is long dead
But I heard something inside you
With my head to your chest
Within
All the wrong
They say
I have done
There lies
A seed
Of a million more
Just waiting to become
Send them home!
Send them home!
Send them home!
Use your sword
Use your voice
And destroy
And destroy
Then begin again

How to fight loneliness
Smile all the time
Shine your teeth 'til meaningless
Sharpen them with lies
[Verse 2]
And whatever's going down
Will follow you around
That's how you fight loneliness
You laugh at every joke
Drag your blanket blindly
Fill your heart with smoke
And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you ever need
That's how you fight it
[Hook]
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time
Just smile all the time

[Chorus]
At my window, sad and lonely
Oft times do I think of thee
Sad and lonely and I wonder
Do you ever think of me
[Verse 1]
Every day is sad and lonely
And every night is sad and blue
Do you ever think of me my darling
As you sail that ocean blue
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Will you find another sweetheart
In some far and distant land
Sad and lonely now I wonder
If our boat will ever land
Ships may ply the stormy ocean
And planes may fly the stormy sky
I'm sad and lonely but remember
Oh I'll love you till I die

Two young kids and diamond ring
Little white church south of Palestine
Baby bump and pretty bouquet
Yeah, I went to work the very next day
Punching that clock working that line
Double shifts and over time
My hands are numb and body's sore
Getting by and wanting more
So many dreams that I ain't showing
So many lives that I can't live
Oh, the years just keep on rolling
And I wish I had so much more to give
Yeah, times get tough but love is strong
Here in this trailer that we call home
She got one on her hip and one on the way
Grocery list and bills to pay
Momma by day and school at night
I tried so hard to get it right
I got dreams. What can I say?
Sometimes life gets in the way
Well, getting by and wanting more
Baby, there ain't no shame in being poor
Yeah, times get tough but love is strong
Here in this trailer that we call home
Yeah, times get tough but we carry on
Here in this trailer that we call home
Here in this trailer that we call home
Here in this trailer that we call home

From the very first day that you were born
To the very last time you waved and honked your horn
I had no chance at all to watch you grow
Up so sadly, beautiful
Up so sadly, beautiful
Baby needs a brand new pair of eyes
'Cause the ones you got now see only goodbyes
Had no chance at all to let you know
Oh so sadly, beautiful
Sadly, beautiful
Well you got your father's hair
And you got your father's nose
But you got my soul
Sadly, beautiful
From the very last time you waved and honked your horn
To a face that turned away pale and worn
Had no chance at all to let you know
You left me sadly, beautiful
Left me sadly, beautiful
Sadly, beautiful
So sadly
So sadly

Sometimes you'd think I'd leave from my mistakes
But here I go all over again
Next time it will work out right I swear it
How can anyone pretend
Well you tell yourself it doesn't matter
Though it makes yer blood run cold
You try hard not to let it get you down
When you know your bought and sold
Another day has come at last
The pattern stays the same
Everybody says "Don't worry so much"
Can't you see your not to blame
So you find out who your friends are
By who listens to the lies
Some people fall for almost anything
You can see it, in their eyes
I guess it's time to put to rest
Anything still left inside
Of all the people I've ever known
Am I the only one whose tried
Maybe if I wasn't so far in, I could almost give it away.
If it's all just such a waste of time.
Why not leave things where they lay.

Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know how you could not love me now
You will know, with her feet down to the ground
Over there, and I want true love to grow
You can't hide, oh no, from the way I feel
Turn my head
Into sound
I don't know when I lay down on the ground
You will find your hand down hurts to love
Never cared, and the world turned hearts to love
We will see, oh now, in a day or two
You will wait
See me go
I don't care, when you're head turned all along
You will wait, when I turn my eyes around
Overhead when I hold you next to me
Overhead, to know the way I see
Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know, maybe you could not hurt me now
Here alone, when I feel down too
Over there, when I await true love for you
You can hide, oh now, the way I do
You can see, oh now, oh the way I do

This is my five string serenade
Beneath the water its played
And while I'm playing for you
It could be raining there too
And on my easel I drew
While I was thinking of you
And on the roof of my head
In came my five string serenade
