I've been in this town so long that back in the city,
I've been taken for lost and gone and unknown for a long, long time.
Fell in love years ago with an innocent girl,
From the Spanish and Indian home home of the heroes and villains.
Once at night, Catillian squared the fight,
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her
down.
But she's still dancing in the night, unafraid,
Of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains.
Heroes and villains, just see what you've done
Heroes and villains, just see what you've done
Stand or fall, I know there shall be peace in the valley,
And it's all an affair of my life with the heroes and villains.
In the cantina, margaritas keep the spirit high.
There I watched her, she spun around and wound in the warmth,
Her body fanned the flame of the dance.
Dance, Margarita, don't you know that I'm in love with you
Dance
You're under arrest!
My children were raised, you know they suddenly rise.
They started slow, long ago, head-to-toe, healthy, wealthy, and often wise.
At three-score and five, I'm very much alive.
I've still got the jive to survive with the heroes and villains.Music by Daryl Hall, John Oates
Lyrics by Daryl Hall, John Oates
One man says, "Look to heaven for true love"
One child so blind with the stars in her eyes
So why do you think that could be right
She tries but there ain't no way to buy second sight
Oh those Eastern ways on Western nites
I want to be the heart of your desire
ReaLove is a passion play
ReaLove is a passion play
You mean to make him take it your way
I know his mind is in the shadows
He'll take you all the way thru midnite
So sad you can't run but you can't fight
Oh those Eastern ways on Western nites
I want to be the heart of your desire
ReaLove is a passion play
ReaLove is a passion play
