o valencia!

Singer:decemberists, the

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'd shout out my love to the stars

so await for the stone on your window

your window

i'll await 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 await for the stone on your window

your window

i'll await by the car and we'll go

we'll go

but o 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 the 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 an oath of love was your dying cry

so await for the stone on your window

your window

i'll await by the car and we'll go

we'll go

but o valencia!

with your blood still warm on the ground

valencia!

and i'll burn this whole city down

valencia!

with your blood getting cold on the ground

valencia!

and i swear to the stars

i'll burn this whole city down
