Decemberists - O Valencia lyrics

You belong to the gang

And you say you can't break away

But I'm here with my hands on my heart

Our families can't agree

I'm your brother's sworn enemy

But I'll shout out my love to the stars

So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

When first we laid eyes

I swore to no compromise

'Til I felt my caress on your skin

Well, how soon we were betrayed

Your sister gave us away

And your father came all unhinged

So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

Oh Valencia

With your blood still warm on the ground

Valencia

And I swear to the stars

I'll burn this whole city down

All I heard was a shout

Of your brother calling me out

And you ran like a fool to my side

Well the shot, it hit hard

And your frame went limp in my arms

And the lull of love was your dying cry

So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Wait by the car and we'll, go we'll go

Oh Valencia

With your blood still warm on the ground

Valencia

And I'll burn this whole city down

Valencia

With your blood still warm on the ground

Valencia

And I swear to the stars

I'll burn this whole city down
