The Decemberists - O Valencia! lyrics

rate me

You belong to the gang And you say you can't break away But I'm here with my hands on my heart Our families can't agree I'm your brother's sworn enemy But I'll shout out my love to the stars So wait for the stone on your window, your window Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go When first we laid eyes I swore to no compromise 'Til I felt my caress on your skin Well, how soon we were betrayed Your sister gave us away And your father came all unhinged So wait for the stone on your window, your window Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go Oh Valencia With your blood still warm on the ground Valencia And I swear to the stars I'll burn this whole city down All I heard was a shout Of your brother calling me out And you ran like a fool to my side Well the shot, it hit hard And your frame went limp in my arms And the lull of love was your dying cry So wait for the stone on your window, your window Wait by the car and we'll, go we'll go Oh Valencia With your blood still warm on the ground Valencia And I'll burn this whole city down Valencia With your blood still warm on the ground Valencia And I swear to the stars I'll burn this whole city down
