He who could romance the dumb into talking Take a chance with me tonight my contessa If it don’t work out I ain’t lame I can walk hey  ---------|                                                    ---------|                                                    ---------|                                                    ---------|                                                    ---0-2-3-|                                                    -3-------| Now some folks think cancer’s taken to the streets of this town Well Sandy eats her candy and then lays her money down Them cats are in from the canyons to strut their stuff in town But there’s only secret sinners here Lord there’s only secret thieves Only a fool would try to save What the desert chose to leave And hey there senorita With your playboys in their Spanish bandanas French cream won’t soften those boots baby French kisses will not break your heart oh   ---------|                                              ---------|                                              ---------|                                              ---------|                                              ---0-2-3-|                                              -3-------| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oh painted night set free with light Glows outside the Rainbow Saloon Matching braces with a Spanish lady ’Neath a graduation moon No more colleges no more coronations Some punk’s idea of a teenage nation Has forced Santa Ana to change his station From soldier to cartoon And the Giants of Science spend their days and nights Not with wives not with lovers but searchin’ for the lights They spotted in the desert on their helicoptor flights Just to be lost in the dust and the night Hey ah my contessa in your juke joint rags you always bring candy for the kids Come waltz with me tonight senorita ’Cause only fools are alone on a night like this oh  ---------|                                                      ---------|                                                      ---------|                                                      ---------|                                                      ---0-2-3-|                                                      -3-------| | | |... -3--0--2--0--0--4--6---6--3-| -0--1--3--1--0--4--6---8--3-| -0--0--2--2--0--5--6---8--2-| -0--2--0--2--2--6--8---8--0-| -2--3-----0--2--6--8---6----| -3-----------0--4--6--------|

La chanson évoque un jeune garçon observant une procession à travers sa ville, se remémorant des histoires de héros et de luttes dans l'Ouest américain. On y retrouve des références à des figures légendaires et à des événements marquants, mais aussi un sentiment de mélancolie face aux changements de la société. Le garçon se questionne sur la présence de Santa Ana, une figure symbolique de l'espoir et de la passion, tandis que la ville semble perdue entre plaisirs interdits et une réalité désillusionnée. Les images de la vie nocturne, associées à des personnages du passé, soulignent le contraste entre ce qu'était autrefois cette région et la dynamique actuelle.
