18.Heroes And Villains (Vol. 3)

Lyricist:Van Dyke Parks, Brian Wilson

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

In the cantina
Margarita's keep the spirit high
There I watched her
She spun around and around

In the warmth of 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 still got the jive
To survive with the heroes and villains
