3am Spanish Lyrics

Gonna learn to fly
Land in Spain
Then I took a bus and I took a train
Got down South
Met this man
Mario the guitar in his hand
He don't like music
From the U.S.
File his nails
Practice scales
Metronome plays all night and day
I go out for tea and the flamenco cayeBut go
Well it's always night
Well it's always night
Yeah I'll go to Rome
Rooftop slums
timpani pipes and gypsy drums
Shade of my cash and drop my class

Rent out a piano behind stained glassAnd go
Well it's always night
Green laser lightDown streets say they're selling hash
Just make em grassRobbery yeah they're selling out fast
Old folks say that the safest days were the facist ones
Yeah but I don't knowWell I got the money but the money got me
It was all the same in Spain
Well you loved me but you still lost me
Treated me such a way-ay-ay
I'll make the money but the money made me
It was all the same in spain
Well I bought the drugs and the drugs bought me
It's no running away-ay-ayDiscotheques don't start till 3
So I'll mess with the Swedish Edith in the alpine streets
- She's said I always used to be so clean
Love's no fun
Say what d'ya mean
- She was new to me but not new to herself
Get real bored with the things she felt
Said this music sucks
I'm down on my luck
Can't get no sleep
When the unload the trucks
On Monday
Tuesday
Friday
Yeah 3 o'clock rolled around
So we went downtown
- Hit the stall but we only play the Velvet Uderground
I walked in and I just hit the ceiling
Everyone here's in love with the feelingGo
Live a life at night
Oh a life of might
And so
I know the motto goes
I will know when I see itI got the money but the money got me
It was all the same in spain
Well you loved me but you still lost me
Treated me such away-ay-ay
I'll make the money but the money made me
It was all the same in spain
Well I bought the drugs and the drugs bought me
It's no running away-ay-ayWell it's just my life
Cause the time was right
It was so much fun
With a clean cut child
With the hire cops
Knew my day would come
Oh please
Edith please
Already see
It's just my life
Cause the time was right
And it was so much funI wanna go home
A 29 year old
expatriate from
America's South
In light of the background
The queen of the designer crowds
Must have been the only time
She got turned on
HaI got the money but the money got me
It was all the same in spain
Well you loved me but you still lost me
Cheated me such away-ay-ay
I'll make the money but the money made me
It was all the same in spain
Well I bought the drugs and the drugs bought me
It's no running away-ay-ayI messed up
My life
Cause the time was right
- It was so much fun
- I was a clean cut child
With the hire cops
Knew my day would come
Oh Edith please
Don't convince me
You know I already see
Cause the time was right
And it was so much fun
Cause the time was right
It was so much fun
- It was a clean cut job
- With the hire cops
Knew my day would come
Oh even please
Don't convince me
You know I already
