Autotango

I know
I can't blame it all on her
I know
Things go
Both ways
I know

I know
I can't blame it all on love
I know
It takes more
Than one
To tango

I sheltered my name
Beneath a shiny sombrero
I tied up my fate
To a horse and a vaquero
Containing my steps
Within the borders of Mexico

I know

She taught me a trick
To dance a two-way bolero
You gave me time
To mirror your flamenco
Now I'm alone facing my autotango
Let's go

Tengo
Que mirar en el espejo
Tengo que aprender
A bailar
Solo

I covered my eyes
Wearing the gloves of my ego
I faked from afar
Waving a shattered bravado
Dodging myself
In the fashion of a torero

I know

She followed my lead
Through a demented calypso
You gave me your hand
Showed me the dance of tomorrow
Now I'm alone facing my autotango

Tango, Tango
Tango

One step forward
Two steps back
See what's left
Don't look right
Two steps forward
And one step right
The love that left
Never comes back
Six steps forward
And hold on tight
Lose yourself
But don't lose track
Of time
Don't lose track
Of Time
Don't lose track
Of Time
Don't lose track
Of love
