Romanovsky & Phillips - Tango Indigesto Lyrics
Breaking up scenes and bad food go together so well, don't they?Thanks to Jonathan and Darlene Edwards for the inspiration.)In a Mexican restaurant I waited for youFor an hour I waited and anticipatedA fabulous dinner for twoYou suggested a booth in the dark"How romantic," I thought"I'm sorry," you told me, then looked at me coldlyThank heaven the salsa was hot"Well how 'bout a drink?" you askedI said, "That would be fine"Then I said, "Cut the drama"As the band played "La Bamba"For the seventeenth timeAnd the mariachis playedAnd the plastic palm trees swayedAnd the turquoise statue of Mary was turning to blueYou were trashing our relationshipAs I choked on a nacho chipYou told me I'd have to get used to a life without youThen the waiter came over to usWith *****tails for twoAnd all I could think as he set down my drinkWas that I'd like to dump it on youYou proceeded to twist the knifeOr that's how it seemedAs I sipped my gazpachoYou said, "You're not macho enoughFor the man of my dreams"What the hell was I doing thereWith my heart on my sleeve?He was being so rudeBut right then the food came and I couldn't leaveAnd the mariachis playedAnd the plastic palm trees swayedAnd the turquoise statue of Mary was turning to blueYou were slashing our relationshipWith each Marguerita sipBut I couldn't begin to imagine a life without youWe ate dinner in silence thenAnd I felt like a wreckThen halfway through my enchiladaI got the bravado to ask for the check"Well I think I should leave," said I"I don't want any scenesIt's too late for questions, I've got indigestionAnd not just from eating the beans""What did you expect," I said"Yes, of course I am hurtNo, don't try to console meYou've got guacamole all over your shirt"And the mariachis playedAnd the plastic palm trees swayedAnd the turquoise statue of Mary was turning to blueCashing in our relationshipI felt a smile return to my lipsAnd I saw a new life before me, a life without youThen I pushed away my tortillaGot up and said, "Guess I'll see ya"'Cause I saw a new life that was free'aA life without you
