Redemption
But it isn't so
Staring at the walls
Of our new found home
Where does the money come from
To pay the rent?
Equate the amount earned
With the effort spent
Taking the first step
Wasn't so difficult
I just seemed to drift
Into the situation
Taking the last step
Isn't so easy
In the final few footsteps
Into domestication.
Whatever happened
To my rebellious nature?
Wash it down the sink
With the dirty water
Mentally years ahead of my age
A fictional father
To a son and daughter
Taking the first step
Wasn't
Tango All Night
By Steve Hague and Tom Seufert
WE WERE PLAYING AT A CLUB IN COSTA RICA,
WHERE THE LATIN LOVERS COME TO FIND ROMANCE,
WHEN THE LADY WHO WAS DANCIN' ON THE TABLES LOOKED OUR WAY.
I WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, MAMBO TILL DAYLIGHT,
THAT WAS ALL SHE SAID.
BUT WHEN SHE SHOWED US HOW, I ALMOST LOST MY HEAD.
THEN SHE TOOK US TO A LITTLE HACIENDA,
WE WERE HOPIN' THAT HER MAMA WAS AWAY.
THEN THE LADY WHO WAS DANCIN' THROUGH HER GARDEN TURNED TO SAY:
I WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, MAMBO TILL DAYLIGHT,
THAT WAS ALL SHE SAID.
BUT WHEN SHE SHOWED US HOW, I ALMOST LOST MY HEAD.
I WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, RUMBA BY MOONLIGHT,
THAT WAS WHAT SHE SAID.
AND WHEN SHE TOLD US WHY, OUR FACES ALL TURNED RED.
WE'LL DO THE SAMBA TOO,
AND CHA CHA THROUGH THE ROOM.
BUT WHEN HER MAMA, SISTERS AND BROTHERS DANCED THEY,
THEY BEGAN TO SING:
WE WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, THAT WAS WHAT THEY SAID.
AND WHEN THEY ALL SHOWED UP, I KNEW WE'VE BEEN MISLED.
WE WANNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, AY AY AY AY AY,
WE'RE GONNA MAMBO ALL NIGHT, AY AY AY AY AY,
WE'RE GONNA RUMBA ALL NIGHT, AY AY AY AY AY.
I SAID, TANGO ALL NIGHT,
RUMBA IN THE MOONLIGHT, (ay ay ay ay ay)
WE'RE GONNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, (ay ay ay ay ay)
WE'RE GONNA TANGO ALL NIGHT, (ay ay ay ay ay)
OH, RUMBA ALL NIGHT LONG. (ay ay ay ay ay)
