Lyric Spanish Eddie

There was heat in the air
And cops everywhere you looked
So there wasn t a lot
And so the breaks that you got You know you took
And I remember wonderin
Where you d been
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin "Desolation Row" On the radio
The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace
There was amazement on his face
On the night that Eddie fell Sanity prevailed

It was June or July
When the heat from above beat down
It was famine or drought
When the brothers went out Of syle uptown
And he was mixin Vicks with lemon gin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin "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 tryin to fly"
Like Eddie used to say We ll do and we die

I heard someone turned you For a spin
The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in
They were playin "Desolation Row" On the radio
