lyrics

The boys in Acapulco take their marks
Try to jump off those cliffs, straight into her heart
Their knees don't tremble from the waves below
They knock together 'cause they want her so

She laughs in Spanish, she cries in rain
Her body language flows like Shakespeare down the Seine
Nothin' lost in translation in her sweet refrain
She laughs in Spanish, she cries in rain

Runners in Pamplona dressed in red and white
Steel themselves for their desperate flight
Racin' not only just to death defy
But to be that lucky one who just might catch her eye

Late at night when she goes to bed
Closes her eyes and rests her head
Is she aware of all the dreams she's bred
From the arrested living to the restless dead

Conquistadors and Matadors run through history's corridors
They wave their capes and weild their swords
Riskin' for all time life and limb
That she might just once walk arm and arm with them
