We'll start things off with the link for the audio file today: Click here for audio file

This song's been about 3 or 4 years in the making and it finally came together a little bit over the summer and a little bit more about a month ago. It's got a little bit of a Spanish flare to it. Still working some things out for the song, but this is as done as it's going to get before January, so I'm posting it now. The music will definitely be rearranged slightly, but for the most part this is it.

Buenos días
My friend and how are you
The matador is waking
Starting anew
Cast your capote
Twirl your cape
Fool the bull

Un cantador
For the prophets
Turn your eyes back
With your clocks
Avert disaster
Gold and red
Fool the bull

The matador
Waves deception
Pull the strings
Sleight of hand
Pay no attention
Whispers fall on painted floors
But the matador plays on
The matador plays on

Buenas tardes
My friend and how are you
The matador is speaking
Performing for you
People come
And clowns will try
To fool the bull

Un artista
Pride for profits
Weave your words
Against the clock
Slide to the side
Golepa su muleta
Fool the bull

The matador
Waves deception
Pull the strings
Sleight of hand
Pay no attention
Whispers fall on dirtied floors
But the matador plays on
The matador plays on

Buenas noches
My friend, good night to you
The town is sleeping
Tomorrow's news
Weave your dreams
Plead your fears
Fool the bull

The matador
Lays waking
No sleep, no rest
No job fulfilled
Work through the night
Try as you might
You can't keep fooling the bull

But still the matador plays on
