Dale Darling

I was here you see, thinking
About life how much one spends escaping
Escaping from being poor, from being alone
From pain everyone does it their own way
And sometimes escaping running forward
Seeking to numb oneself as long as the body holds
Escaping from parents, partners, memories
Routine, failure, defeat, and hells

He put poison in the peach
And then called him to eat
The guy was brutish like a donkey
And he beat her before and after
She always pretended
Until one day, one good day she had enough
Her godmother set up the alibi
And she fled to the big city
Uh, come on Darling, you can't say no

She danced on the bar
And took care not to drink too much
Of hands that seem like claws
And mouths that promise too much
The worst were the bosses
In my club, baby, I'm the Tsar!
Among all she became the strongest
And slowly began to lead
Uh come on Darling, you can't say no
Uh come on Darling, this time I'll pay!

The girl had a friend in the bar
Who always listened to her and took her home
That night she told him her story
And he understood why she never remembered
Today she had seen her policeman brother-in-law
Lurking around her house, just as she was leaving
Surely he didn't believe what my godmother said
And the guy replied as he stared at her

Let's get on the highway
Let's go straight south
We'll see the sunrise on the road, sleep during the day in Bahía
Or in Santa Rosa, yes, on Route 5
If you want, you can come with me
We'll cross the desert and more
It would be good to grab a coat
And let's go right now
Uh come on Darling, you can't say no
Uh come on Darling, this time I'll pay!

And you can dance on the table
When this rock and roll plays
Only peaches for dessert
Maybe I'll tell you no

Come on!!
