Madonna Amp Antonio Banderas Waltz For Eva And Che Lyrics

Waltz For Eva And Che Lyrics

(Che:)



 Tell me before I waltz out of your life



 Before turning my back on the past



 Forgive my impertinent behavior



 But how long do you think this pantomime can last?



 Tell me before I ride off in the sunset



 There's one thing I never got clear



 How can you claim you're our savior



 When those who oppose you are stepped on,



 Or cut up, or simply disappear?



 



 (Eva:)



 Tell me before you get onto your bus



 Before joining the forgotten brigade



 How can one person like me, say,



 Alter the time-honored way the game is played?



 Tell me before you get onto your high horse



 Just what you expect me to do



 I don't care what the bourgeoisie say



 I'm not in business for them



 But to give all my descamisados



 A magical moment or two



 



 (Che and Eva:)



 There is evil, ever around



 Fundamental system of government



 Quite incidental



 



 (Eva:)



 So what are my chances of honest advances?



 I'd say low



 Better to win by admitting my sin



 Than to lose with a halo



 



 (Che:)



 Tell me before I seek worthier pastures



 And thereby restore self-esteem



 How can you be so short-sighted



 To look never further than this week or next week



 To have no impossible dream?



 



 (Eva:)



 Allow me to help you slink off to the sidelines



 And mark your adieu with three cheers



 But first tell me who'd be delighted



 If I said I'd take on the world's greatest problems



 From war to pollution, no hope of solution



 Even if I lived for one hundred years



 



 (Che and Eva:)



 There is evil, ever around



 Fundamental system of government



 Quite incidental



 



 (Eva:)



 So go, if you're able, to somewhere unstable



 And stay there



 Whip up your hate in some tottering state



 But not here, dear



 Is that clear, dear?



 



 Oh what I'd give for a hundred years



 But the physical interferes



 Every day more, O my Creator



 What is the good of the strongest heart



 In a body that's falling apart?



 A serious flaw, I hope You know that
