Viva Songtext
von The Hawthorne Effect

In a rage, I was drinking all night
Still can′t remember all the details right
Started with some whiskey, finished with a fight
Woke up with a girl, it's good to be alive, yeah

In a daze, we were up all night
Still can′t remember all the details right
Started undercover, woke up outside
She screamed, "Hell, where you going?" Left her with a smile

Babe, I hate to leave you, but I gotta go
Goodbye Blackwell, Texas, hello Mexico
Driving 85 all night, but it's still too slow
Viva San Juan del Rio, viva rock and roll

Hit the stage at eleven o' five
Started with tequila, chased it with a lime
Hello, señorita, do you have the time?
She said her name was Margarita, she shook me all night


Babe, I hate to leave you, but I gotta go
Goodbye San Juan del Rio, home away from home
Te llevaré para siempre en mi corazón
Viva San Juan del Rio, viva rock and roll

Now we′re back to driving down the same old road
Kinda got to thinking, trying to stop the hot and cold
Flashback, any point to living? Are we just getting older?
Am I living life right or just selling my soul?
I knock, but no one answers, I seek, but I can′t find
I can't have solace with her, can′t get no peace of mind
Someone tried the needle, climbed the steeple, or denied
But no one on this planet's getting out alive
Everyone is medicated, everything is overrated
Overstated, overrated, life is getting complicated
Forces fighting for control, nothing ever fills the hole
Between the set, between the shows, after all the curtains close
So enjoy this time together, every beat, every measure
All the pain and all the pleasure, make this moment last forever
Take your glasses, raise a toast, find a stranger, wear the clothes
Every country, every coast, but know we′re going home alone


In a rage, I was wasting my time
Still can't remember all the details right
Started with a quote, finished with the time
There′s only one prescription, rock and roll tonight

Babe, I hate to leave you, but I gotta go
Goodbye San Juan del Rio, home away from home
Te llevaré para siempre en mi corazón
Viva San Juan del Rio, viva rock and roll
Viva San Juan del Rio, viva rock and roll, yeah
