Salvador Sanchez arrived and vanished
Only twenty-three with so much speed
Owning the highway
Mexico City bred so many
But none quite like him sweet warrior
Pure magic matador
Pancho Villa would never rest
'Til 1925 he closed his eyes
'Til Manilla stars would rise
Gozo of the Phillipines, choirs and angels sing
Ukelele strings play for his legend
Italy had a king
How have they gone, fell by leather
So alone, bound together
Benny "Kid" Paret came a good way
Climbed to the grey sky to raise his hands
Stopped by the better man
Eyes of Los Rios cry for suns
Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors
Struck and delivered him
How have they gone, fell by leather
So alone, bound together
Why have they gone, fell by leather
All alone, all bound together
Only twenty-three with so much speed
Owning the highway
Mexico City bred so many
But none quite like him sweet warrior
Pure magic matador
Pancho Villa would never rest
'Til 1925 he closed his eyes
'Til Manilla stars would rise
Gozo of the Phillipines, choirs and angels sing
Ukelele strings play for his legend
Italy had a king
How have they gone, fell by leather
So alone, bound together
Benny "Kid" Paret came a good way
Climbed to the grey sky to raise his hands
Stopped by the better man
Eyes of Los Rios cry for suns
Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors
Struck and delivered him
How have they gone, fell by leather
So alone, bound together
Why have they gone, fell by leather
All alone, all bound together
