The Decemberists - 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 brothers 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 admit to no comproise

Until I found 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, you window

Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

Valencia, with your blood still warm on the ground

Valenica, and I swear to the 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

and the shot it hit hard

and your frame went limp in my arm

and love, oh love was your dying cry

So wait for the stone on your window, you window

Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

Valencia, with your blood still warm on the ground

Valencia, i'll burn this whole city down

Valencia, with your blood still warm on the ground

Valenica and i swear to the stars

I'll burn this whole city down
