lyrics

MATADOR


MIKE OF MINNESOTA
KNEW HE HAD A REAL GOOD CHANCE
ONE DAY TO REALIZE A DREAM
AND MEET THE KING OF SPAIN
PEERING THROUGH THE IRON WORK
OF HIS GATED DOMAIN
THE JOURNEY WAS A MATTER OF
HITTING THE PAPER TRAIL
NOTHING WOULD GO ASTRAY
SOON HE WOULD BE ON HIS WAY
AHOO

MIKE OF MINNESOTA
KNEW THE WOMAN AT THE DESK
SHE TOLD HIM THE FLIGHT TO TOLEDO
WAS COMING UP NEXT
NO NEED TO RUSH HE REPLIED
HE SURELY MUST PREPARE
FOR THE GREATEST BULLFIGHT
IN THE HISTORY OF SPAIN
A SHOW FIT FOR A KING
ALL THE ANGELS SHALL SING
AHOO

ACROSS THE FLOOR
WHIRLS THE BALLERINA
A CHILL IS IN THE AIR
IT’S WINTER DEEP IN MINNESOTA
AS CARMEN FEARS THE END
A STRETCHER ROLLS DOWN THE CORRIDOR
NOBODY’S AT THE DESK
ALL FLIGHTS CANCELLED TO TOLEDO
THE MATADOR IS DEAD

IT’S AFTER MIDNIGHT
SOMEONE SHUTS OFF THE LIGHTS
AHOO
