"Spanish Eddie" by Laura Branigan

There was heat in the air
And cops everywhere you looked
There wasn't a lot
Cause the breaks that you got
You know you took

And I remember
Wondering where you been
The night Spanish Eddie
Cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie
Cashed it in
They were playing
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 burnt down
It was famine or drought
When the brothers went
Out of syle uptown

And we was mixing
Vicks with lemon gin
The night Spanish Eddie
Cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie
Cashed it in
They were playing
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 trying 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 playing
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

The night Spanish Eddie
Cashed it in
They were playing
Desolation Row On the radio....
