Hey Santa Ana |
>From a tin rooftop the little boy did watch |
The procession down through town |
Through the museum where Daniel walked the Devil |
With them boys from the underground |
Where the giants of science fight for tight control |
Over the wild kids in North Mexico |
Sam Houston’s still in Texas fighting for his soul |
And the towns rest so uneasy under the strains of revolt |
Crying, Hey Santa Ana, you could romance the dumb into talking |
Take a chance with me, Contessa |
If it don’t work out, I ain’t lame, I’m good at walking |
Now some folks they can’t can’t just take it |
To the streets of this dusty little town |
But Sam easy can and he lays the money down |
Then the cats come in from the Canyon and strut their stuff in town |
But there’s only secret sinners here |
Lord, there’s only secret thieves |
Only a fool would try to save |
What the desert chose to leave |
And I said, Hey, hey lady |
With your negroes in their Spanish bandanas |
French cream ain’t gonna soften her boots |
And French kisses ain’t gonna break her heart |
Now painted night set free with light |
Glows outside the Rainbow Saloon |
I match embraces with a Spanish lady 'neath a graduation moon |
No more colleges no more coronations |
Some punk’s idea of a teenage nation |
Has forced Santa Ana to change his station from soldier to cartoon |
And the giants of science spend their days and nights |
Not with wives, not with lovers, but searching for the lights |
That they spotted in the desert on their helicopter flights |
But they were lost in the dust and the night |
They cried, Hey Santa Ana |
In his juke joint rides he always brings candy for the kids |
Waltz with me tonight senorita |
'Cos only fools are alone in a night like this |
