Lyrics

I can hear the turning of the key

I've been deceived by the clown inside of me

I thought that he was righteous but he's vain

Oh, something's a-telling me I wear the ball and chain



My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost

He's always off somewhere when I need him most

The Spanish moon is rising on the hill

But my heart is a-tellin' me I love ya still



I come back to the town from the flaming moon

I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon

I love to see you dress before the mirror

Won't you let me in your room one time 'fore I finally disappear?



Everybody's wearing a disguise

To hide what they've got left behind their eyes

But me, I can't cover what I am

Wherever the children go I'll follow them



I march in the parade of liberty

But as long as I love you I'm not free

How long must I suffer such abuse

Won't you let me see you smile one time before I turn you loose?



I've given up the game, I've got to leave

The pot of gold is only make-believe

The treasure can't be found by men who search

Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church



Send out for St. John the evangelist
All my friends are drunk they can all be dismissed

My head tells me it's time to make a change

But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange



One more time at midnight, near the wall

Take off your heavy makeup and your shawl

Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?

Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it
