The Spanish from your lips tastes like tomaters on the vine Like a baby bird I'm peckin' I'm drinkin' down that line You keep saying no But that ain't no word I know Welcome to America, Pablo You say your heart is roto And your corazon was broke By some girl in Guanajuato Who couldn't take a joke You say no hay espacio For an amor American Still I'm gonna love you best I can Because the Spanish from your lips tastes like tomaters on the vine Like a baby bird I'm peckin' I'm drinkin' down that line You keep saying no But that ain't no word I know Welcome to America, Pablo I keep my heart spoiled Always taking just what I want I know that nada it ain't nada if it ain't free Free to work for or to toil for Or to win over in song Think you're really something Pablo, don't you see The Spanish from your lips tastes like tomaters on the vine Like a baby bird I'm peckin' I'm drinkin' down that line You keep saying no But that ain't no word I know Welcome to America, Pablo I left my reason ages ago in a rhyme you'll never know It's floatin' down some rio In Spain or Mexico But wander it will where water it spills You'll find you and I'll find me But Pablo could it be you've been lookin' for me in ti The Spanish from your lips tastes like tomaters on the vine Like a baby bird I'm peckin' I'm drinkin' down that line You keep saying no But that ain't no word I know Welcome to America, Pablo

I don't blame you not to have the courage to call me Send me a selfie I'll sext you right back I tried callin' ya back but I've a bar and a half Dare I ask ya did you keep that landline? Wrote a letter by hand, put a koan at the end [You know they say koans drive people crazy and I thought it might just drive us crazy for one another] I'm a Romeo romancer she's a woo-woo-woman let's start dating Time came, time went, to the city I was left [Though I was never much scared of concrete] Kept you in my heart right from the very start, girl I know you're reading me Somehow with my letters got us pregnant man [They say the pen is mightier than the -] How it happened I don't know, she's a virgin, I been hella celibate I don't blame you not to have the courage to call me Send me a selfie I'll sext you right back I tried callin' ya back but I've a bar and a half Dare I ask ya did you keep that landline? Set a meeting place at three like my mother used to teach [This of course in the time long before smartphones] Stood around 'til three-fifteen she ain't coming on the scene, I'm off again I had good sense and I had a pen and it was red [Although I draw terrible hearts I do have stanzas] I left you a note you know what happened my old lady neighbor got it But really I- Don't blame you not to have the courage to call me Send me a selfie it's as simple as that I called cryin' and trashed no matter where you was at You'd hit ignore and in the phonebook no more I threw that phone in the river it'd never swum [In retrospect that was irrational and ill-advised] Now I got one of those phantom rings it's ringin' and ring ring ring ring I hate it I even gave you a self-addressed envelope with a forever stamp [I told you where I live and I don't tell everyone that] You're a hotshot I'm a long-shot, nothin' we can do cause no one's shootin' So adieu madame to the woman I never met [You know I can always wait for the next one I guess] But when I'm an old man four cats and a van my online dating profile can't fail me...except maybe it will... But I don't I don't blame a lot cause there's an ocean in between us But you got sails so just watch that wind for me I can't shake the thought that there's a way that we can beat this Send me a signal and I'll build you a tower Someday the sunflower Will sow its seeds to the earth Might you be there diggin' my land honey
