Lyrics of Spanish Eddie by Laura Branigan
verse
There was heat in the air
And cops everywhere you looked
There wasn't a lot
So the breaks that you've got, you know you took
pre-chorus
And I remember wonderin' where you've been
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
chorus
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
verse
It was June or July
When the heat from above beat down
It was famine or drought
When the brothers went out of style uptown
pre-chorus
And we was mixin' Vicks with lemon gin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
chorus
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
bridge
I heard someone say, "He's trying to fly"
Like Eddie used to say, "We'll do when we die"
pre-chorus
I know someone turned you for a spin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
chorus
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
outro
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playing Desolation Row on the radio
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playing Desolation Row on that radio
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playing Desolation Row on the radio
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
Writer(s): David Palmer, Chuck Cochran
