Spanish Dancers - Bob Welch

Spanish dancers in the night

Making up their steps alone

Beyond the circle of the firelight

The fight to have her has begun

You’ve crossed the line, you can’t return

You’ve sealed your fate because of her

So cross your heart and hope to die tonight

On the west side they are waiting

If you’re a man you will be there

Who’s that watching from the window

Those who win are those who dare

You just follow the angels

Follow the cursed

Follow the poor in spirit

But get there first

And then a Spanish dancer

She’s gonna be yours

A Spanish dancer in the night

She’s making up her steps alone

So many stare but I don’t care

So many want to take her home

'Cause you are not the only ones

And you must fight to have her love

'Cause the streets are mad with bad, bad, bad

Blazing guns

Will you wake up right beside her

Will you live to tell the tale

You follow her down narrow side streets

But there’s a chance that you’ll get nailed

You just follow the angels

Follow the cursed

Follow the poor in spirit

But get there first

And then a Spanish dancer

She’s gonna be yours
