lyrics
OUR LADY OF GUADELUPE STREET
Every day at her door, line up the devotees
Faces hidden by veils so nobody will see
When the saints and the priests don’t have the answers they seek
They pray to Our Lady of Guadelupe Street
They say she once was a beauty, but some disagree
I don’t know how they know she’s at least a hundred and three
But they believe she has the power to bring men to their knees
Is she an angel or devil Our Lady of Guadelupe Street?
They can break your heart, And leave you out in the cold
But peace can be yours, If you have the gold
Make ‘em stay, make ‘em go, make ‘em crawl, make ‘em beg for more
No matter what you’re looking for¬–it’s behind the red door
She had a lover from Sevilla, or was it Napoli?
Quick with a fist, and a head full of steam.
They found him lying in the alley, his death a mystery
But on his lips the last kiss from Our Lady of Guadelupe Street
They can break your heart, And leave you out in the cold
But peace can be yours, If you have the gold
Make ‘em stay, make ‘em go, make ‘em crawl, make ‘em beg for more
No matter what you’re looking for¬–it’s behind the red door
Have a drink for love, take a pill for tranquility
A few words from her lips can set you free
May God grant you joy and serenity
But if God’s not at home try Our Lady of Guadelupe Street
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Every day at her door, line up the devotees
Faces hidden by veils so nobody will see
When the saints and the priests don’t have the answers they seek
They pray to Our Lady of Guadelupe Street
They say she once was a beauty, but some disagree
I don’t know how they know she’s at least a hundred and three
But they believe she has the power to bring men to their knees
Is she an angel or devil Our Lady of Guadelupe Street?
They can break your heart, And leave you out in the cold
But peace can be yours, If you have the gold
Make ‘em stay, make ‘em go, make ‘em crawl, make ‘em beg for more
No matter what you’re looking for¬–it’s behind the red door
She had a lover from Sevilla, or was it Napoli?
Quick with a fist, and a head full of steam.
They found him lying in the alley, his death a mystery
But on his lips the last kiss from Our Lady of Guadelupe Street
They can break your heart, And leave you out in the cold
But peace can be yours, If you have the gold
Make ‘em stay, make ‘em go, make ‘em crawl, make ‘em beg for more
No matter what you’re looking for¬–it’s behind the red door
Have a drink for love, take a pill for tranquility
A few words from her lips can set you free
May God grant you joy and serenity
But if God’s not at home try Our Lady of Guadelupe Street
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
