Corazon

Corazon, under the starlight
You danced away,
All alone
As the brass band took the stage.
Corazon, you’ve had many men
On your arm,
Soon they’re gone
Another victim of your charm.
You moved so shyly to the first beat
Then you picked up the pace in your bare feet
You left the poor girls in the shadows,
Boyfriends staring through the window.
Oh, Corazon, I want to take you
In my arms,
Move with me
‘Til they throw us out this bar
Your Spanish eyes
Have taken me so far away
Danger signs are written on my gringo face.
You moved so shyly to the first beat
Then you picked up the pace in your bare feet
You left the poor girls in the shadows
Boyfriends staring through the window,
In the spotlight
You were framed right
And the music cast a spell on your waistline
I was dizzy from the red wine
But your lips kept on moving closer to mine
Oh, Corazon, under the starlight
We danced away,
All alone
As the brass band played away.
Corazon, you’ve had many men
On your arm,
Soon they’re gone
Another victim of your charms.
You moved so shyly to the first beat
Then you picked up the pace in your bare feet
You left the poor girls in the shadows
Boyfriends staring through the window.
In the spotlight, you were framed right
And your body kept on moving closer to mine,
There was no way to avoid it
My fate was sealed with the first kiss.

Gigolo Daddy

|
I’ll be your gigolo daddy
Tell me a story,
And I’ll listen all night,
‘Then it’s beddie time.
I’ll good to your body
If it should need me
I’ll treat it right,
All day and all night.
And as we’re decadent and vain
We’ll refrain from wasting our time
On grandiloquent claims of romance
That turn into lies.
I’ll love you just a little bit at a time
Then I’ll walk out the door
With my head held high
And I’ll find another partner who cries “oooh!”
I’ll be your sugar-tipped baddie
Who treats you so nicely
That you come right out on time
I’ll be Serge to your Jane B,
Kurt to your Courtney,
I’m going to learn all my lines,
You can test my oral tonight.
And as we’re decadent and vain
We’ll refrain from wasting our time
On ambivalent claims of romance
That turn into lies
I’ll love you just a little bit at a time
Then I’ll walk out the door
With my head held high
And I’ll find another partner who cries “oooh!”
I’ll be your gigolo daddy
Tell me a story,
And I’ll listen all night,
‘Then it’s beddie time.
I’ll be good to your body
If it should need me
I’ll treat it right,
All day and all night.
And as we’re decadent and vain
We’ll refrain from wasting our time
With cheap declarations of love
That turn into lies
I’ll love you just a little bit at a time
Then I’ll walk out the door
With my head held high
I’ll find another partner who cries.

Continental Girl
03:57
|

|
She’s a continental girl
And a figure of good taste,
Wraps my heart around her finger
When she comes ‘round my way.
She’s a continental girl
Who leaves a shadow on my day,
Whispers heartache in my ear
Then walks away.
I’ll tell you a secret, if you can keep it,
I want to share my dreams with you.
But until then my little girl
What can I do?
She’s a continental queen
Wrapped in leather on the screen,
Knows just how to get her way,
Watch her play.
I’ll tell you a secret, if you can keep it,
I want to share my dreams with you.
But until then my little girl
What can I do?
I’ll circle around you, ever so quiet
Biding time like a great white shark.
And when we collide under the waves
I’ll take your heart.

Real Fantasy
04:02

Dreaming of better days
I saw life drift away with you
Strolling the riverside
Watching as paradise pulls through.
Why don’t we go where we can be
Held in the light of mystery?
Hungry for love, we’ll watch the streets
Reflect through the prism of our precious dreams
As the time passes by
I need to satisfy my truth.
And take up my destiny
For I appear to be not through.
Let’s leave the past within the glare
Of sweeping sunsets that we can share,
We’ll re-write the fate of lonely nights
Projecting our passions on flickering sights.
And when the pain fades away
Let’s make our play
On the banks of still time.
I’ve reeled through the Old Town too long,
In a moment I’m gone
With a ghost at my side.
Dreaming of better days
I’m lost within the haze that’s you.
Blurring reality,
I’ll make a fantasy come true.
