Esmeralda
Well, I tried to paint a picture but it didn’t look a thing like you
I say, I tried to paint a picture but the watercolors ran on you
I put your eyes in your mouth ‘cause your, your eyes say so much
So I start to drive to your house but the stereo left in my car just gave out
I could use a pair of speakers but I’ll take a pair of sneakers
If there’s no way out
If I’m gonna end up walking
I expect you meet me halfway
Oh, you swore when you took off your clothes and jumped in the flood
Oh, look love, where you signed it in blood
And oh, it’s cool, Esmeralda, it’s fine, you’re technically mine
Darling, I thought you knew, only the best for you
You say you kicked it with the devil, well, the devil said he’s never heard of you
(«Esmeralda, who?»)
You sayin’ you and him full throttle hit the bottom of the bottle
Well who should I believe?
Either way if I’m out drinking, I’m gonna bring an extra sleeve
So you plant a patch of posies but the soil didn’t have you all that much
So you wait around an hour for the chance you see some flowers
Oh I wish you luck
If you’re hands are very dirty, maybe you buried them too deep
