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 you
For an hour I waited and anticipated
A fabulous dinner for
two
You suggested a booth in the dark
"How romantic," I thought
"I'm
sorry," you told me, then looked at me coldly
Thank heaven the salsa was
hot
"Well how 'bout a drink?" you asked
I said, "That would be
fine"
Then I said, "Cut the drama"
As the band played "La Bamba"
For
the seventeenth time
And the mariachis played
And the plastic palm trees
swayed
And the turquoise statue of Mary was turning to blue
You were
trashing our relationship
As I choked on a nacho chip
You told me I'd
have to get used to a life without you
Then the waiter came over to
us
With cocktails for two
And all I could think as he set down my
drink
Was that I'd like to dump it on you
You proceeded to twist the
knife
Or that's how it seemed
As I sipped my gazpacho
You said,
"You're not macho enough
For the man of my dreams"
What the hell was I
doing there
With my heart on my sleeve?
He was being so rude
But right
then the food came and I couldn't leave
And the mariachis played
And the
plastic palm trees swayed
And the turquoise statue of Mary was turning to
blue
You were slashing our relationship
With each Marguerita sip
But I
couldn't begin to imagine a life without you
We ate dinner in silence
then
And I felt like a wreck
Then halfway through my enchilada
I got
the bravado to ask for the check
"Well I think I should leave," said I
"I
don't want any scenes
It's too late for questions, I've got
indigestion
And not just from eating the beans"
"What did you expect," I
said
"Yes, of course I am hurt
No, don't try to console me
You've got
guacamole all over your shirt"
And the mariachis played
And the plastic
palm trees swayed
And the turquoise statue of Mary was turning to
blue
Cashing in our relationship
I felt a smile return to my lips
And
I saw a new life before me, a life without you
Then I pushed away my
tortilla
Got up and said, "Guess I'll see ya"
'Cause I saw a new life
that was free'a
A life without you
