Oh mama, there's the Spanish dancer
Who steps up, follow and he comes near
The red dress of temptation over a long black slip of fear
Will I fall beneath the shadow of some broken cross?
My arm empty then all my treasures lost
Still like that Spanish dancer I
Throw my roses down for him
Across these beds of darkness he
Opens his arms and gathers in him
Oh mama, the bridges where burning
Over a river of black and cold
But I walked when love commanded me
Up to the edges of his soul
But I'm still frightened of that dirty light
Will I gain entrance or be denied?
Still like that Spanish dancer I
Throw my roses down for him
Across these beds of darkness he
Opens his arms and gathers in him
Oh mama when you were younger
Did you ever love a man so much?
As if he was some fantastic jewel
You should never be worried
But all those illusions dipping full
And he's just a man after all
Still like that Spanish dancer I
Throw my roses down for him
Across these beds of darkness he
Opens his arms and gathers in him
Just like that Spanish dancer I
Just like that Spanish dancer I
Just like that Spanish dancer I
Throw my roses down for him
