How can you be so warm?
How can you know what I feel?
Well it's the way you move your hands
And it's the way you understand

And that's the reason that I'm asking
(Hey yeah yah)
And that's the reason that I want to know
(Hey yeah yah)
And that's the reason that I'm asking
And that's the reason that I'm...

How can you throw away
Everything you live for
Well it's the way you shake and sway
And it's the passion that you play

(Chorus)

Who did you love before?
Who did they love before you?
But it's the way you move your hands
And it's the way you understand

(Chorus)

Looking around the house
Hidden behind the window and the door
Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home
Well maybe I'm just too sure
And maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound of it
Pieces of note fall down but the letter said

Uh huh, it was good
Living with you
Uh huh, it was good

Good, good, good, good, good, good

Sitting around the house
Watching the sun trace shadows on the floor
Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home
Well maybe I'll call or write you a letter
Now maybe we'll see on the Fourth of July
But I'm not too sure
And I'm not too proud
Well I'm not to sure
And I'm not to proud to say

Uh huh, it was good
Living with you
Uh huh, it was good

Yeah you were so good
Yeah you were....so good.

(Yeah, that's right!)

There she is, white light
Descending like the color of rain
July or Fall
One thing will never change
Down and out you've found
This city has you on your back
You long for her
To take you away

And I
I want a Southern girl
I need a Southern girl
Well, I want a Southern girl

Scent of pine drifting by
Her hand traces lazy on your neck
Sunlight through the trees
Recalls a better time
Kids and dogs running by
She smiles as she drinks iced tea
Retire to the room
It's easy to see

That I
I want a Southern girl
I need a Southern girl
Well, I want a Southern girl

Take back the night
Claim your desires
Run 'till you crawl
In the morning you will find her there

And I
I want a Southern girl
I need a Southern girl
Well, I want a Southern girl

Well she believes
That I'd be better off without her
And she believes
In me
Well she believes
That time can make things right
And I wanna believe
That there's been a change in me

And I hope that she believes
Yes I wonder if she sees
The killer inside me

The lights go down
And the clouds are building outside
You close the door and turn the key
But there's no place to hide

And I hope that she believes
Yes I wonder if she sees
The killer inside me

Where have you gone my Rosealia?
Into the crowd he'll never find you
If you walk real fast
And you stay down low
So many times so many chances
This one could be your last

You say no, no, no
The fighting has left you tired
You say no, no no
But the fighting goes on
Put on your mask
Wearing your cape
Put on your mask my Rosealia

What has he done my se?rita
His kind of love is gonna kill you
Do you fake a smile
As you dodge the blows
So many times so many chances
This one could be your last

You say no, no, no
The fighting has left you tired
You say no, no no
But the hurting goes on
Put on your mask
Wearing your cape
Put on your mask my Rosealia

Jealousy
Can rip your heart out
And jealousy
Can turn a hand into a fist

You say no, no, no
The fighting has left you tired
You say no, no no
But the fighting goes on
Put on your mask
Wearing your cape
Put on your mask my Rosealia

Put on your mask
Wearin your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
My Rosealia
Yeah yeah

[mariachi style]
Rosale, Rosealia. Roseale, Rosealia. Rosealia Rosealia.

You cleaned out your room
And under your bed
Lay a picture long forgotten
With a hand to your head
You sigh out loud
As a memory washes over
And buries you

A summer rainstorm
But the shed was dry
With a girl from Carolina
And you held her so tight
For the warmth that the rain denied
As the timer moved to a flash

And so alive
You listen to them when they say

Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wife
If you cry cry cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom

We dance and sing out
And traced the moon
As it crawled across the night sky
And covered in dew
A lover's pact
Well here's to now and don't look back
And oh how I tried to heed the words written here

For everyone
If there is a person place or time
That brings you back and makes you feel alive
Before your reason clouds your eyes
You could rule the world
If you wanted to

Well I hear you're living
Far away
And that life's treated you well
You know that we were young and this picture's old
But I can still hear you say
Through the pounding of the rain

And oh, if you try
Tell me can you hear them say

Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wife
If you cry cry cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom

Listen to them fight
Hear your mother cry
Weekend at your dad's
They don't know what they do to you
Teenager

Wrap yourself in black
Listen to The Cure
Love-line wont call back
They don't know
They don't care
They don't see
But I do

And if it feels good do it
Cause if it tastes fine drink
Well, there's a range of possibilities to find
Teenager, teenager

No one knows your name
No one hears your cry
Fall in with the fringe
Cause they know what you're going through
They do

And if it feels good do it
Cause if it tastes fine drink
Well, there's a range of possibilities to find
Teenager, teenager

No one's wrong
No one's right
It comes down on you
I have found your life
Inside mine

Hear your mother cry
Fade into the night
And when they ask you why
They won't know
They won't feel
They won't see
But you will

And if it feels good do it
Cause if it tastes fine drink
Well, there's a range of possibilities to find
Teenager, teenager

 
Down by the dock
Hot blood in the sun
The body lays up against the reeds
The locals said the man had it coming
And it's time someone put him six feet in the ground

Where did she go that night?
Where did she sleep when the morning came?
To the summerhouse
To the summerhouse

Missus showed up
To I.D. the body
Then shed a tear as she hid a smile
The sergeant laughed and smiled in frustration
One life is lost while another one's found

Where did she go that night?
Where did she sleep when the morning came?
To the summerhouse
To the summerhouse

Hey, you've got a lot of nerve
To show your face round here
Hey you've got a lot of nerve
To dredge up all my fears
Well I wish I could shake some sense into you
And walk out the door

But your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain

I don't know what I'm saying
Well I don't know if you're there
In the words you are feigning
Do you even care?

Just the other day I felt I had you by a string
Just the other day I felt we could be everything
But now when I see you, you're somebody else
In somebody's eyes

And your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain

Well I wish I could kill you, savor the sight
Get into my car, drive into the night
Then lie as I scream to the heavens above
That I was the last one you ever loved

But your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain
Porcelain. Porcelain.

Will you fight
For the cause?
Can you teach the savage mind
Their ways are wrong
Help them see
What they want and what they need?
And if we have to twist their arms
They know not what they do is wrong

And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll, maybe I'll, maybe I'll try

Heretics and hypocrites
Wear the same face throught the years
Of telling lies
And laying blame
Damn the fire then feed the flame
Don't dance, or sing, or try to think
Their image is planted in your head

And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll, maybe I'll, maybe I'll try

Ivy is just a dog
With a heart that's noble as
The greatest man
Who ever lived
Won't you please help her learn?
And if we have to twist her arm
She knows not what she does is wrong

And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try
And if you said I would be a rich man
Now maybe I'll, maybe I'll, maybe I'll try

Maybe I'll try.
Maybe I'll try.

Well there's a feeling in the air
Just like a Friday afternoon
Well you can go there if you want
But it fades to soon

So go on
Let it be
If there's a feeling coming over me
Seems like it's always understood this time of year

Well I know there's a reason to change
And I know there's a time for us
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad
You can feel it in the air
Feeling right this time of year

Well there's a football in the air
Across a leafblown field
Yeah and there's your first car on the road
And the girl you'd steal

So go on with yourself
If there's a feeling that there's something else
Seems like it's always understood this time of year

Well I know there's a reason to change
And I know there's a time for us
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad
You can feel it in the air
Feeling right this time of year

Heading out
Your heart beating in your head
Riding on
The Texas wind
Raise your feet
As you cross the state line

Waking up
The Mesa sun and the sky
All the way
To Tucumcari
And Santa Fé
Seems a stone's throw away

Coyote, coyote

Coming down
The Phoenix sun on your face
Turns it red by the afternoon
And to the right
The Grand Canyon is wide

Sing along
Needle skips in the wind
Count the stars
Of Death Valley
And in the dark
Barstow starts to fade

Coyote, coyote
Coyote, coyote

Yeah.
