Oh the heat was in the air

Cops everywhere you looked

There wasn't a lot so

the breaks that you got

You know you took

And I remember wonderin'

where you've been

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

They were playin' 'Desolation Row'

On the radio

The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace

There was amazement on his face

For the night that Eddie failed

Sanity prevailed

It was June or July

When the heat from above burnt down

It was famine or drought

When the brothers went

out of style uptown

And we was mi in' Vicks with Lemon Gin

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

They were playin' 'Desolation Row'

On the radio

The night Spanish Eddie made front page

His revolution came of age

He wrote 'Surrender' on the wall

The night he took the fall

I heard someone say he's trying to fly

Like Eddie used to say,

"We'll do when we die"

I know someone turned you for a spin

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

They were playin' 'Desolation Row'

On the radio

The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace

There was amazement on his face

On the night that Eddie failed

Sanity prevailed

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

(Ooh Spanish Eddie, Spanish Eddie)

They were playin' 'Desolation Row'

On the radio

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

(Ooh Spanish Eddie, Spanish Eddie)

They were playin' 'Desolation Row'

On that radio

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

(Ooh Spanish Eddie, Spanish Eddie)

They were playin' 'Desolation Row'

On the radio

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

(Ooh Spanish Eddie, Spanish Eddie)
