The Night Before The Day of the Dead

John Baumann, Adam Wright

[Verse 1]
Painted apparitions haunt the River Walk
I'm back among the living after dying all night long
I'm casting half a shadow on cracked Saltillo tile
I can hear a mariachi from about a quarter-mile

[Chorus]
Candy sugar skulls, Aztec marigolds
And a melody like a damp cloth
On the fever of my soul

[Verse 2]
It's Dia de los Muertos, but the day is almost gone
The blessed virgin candles are just barely hanging on
I can smell the sweet pan dulce driftin' like a ghost
But añejo claimed my body and she ain't lettin' go

[Chorus]
Candy sugar skulls, Aztec marigolds
And a melody like a damp cloth
On the fever of my soul

[Refrain]
"No esta noche"
That was all she said
The night before The Day of the Dead

[Bridge]
The promenade is empty, the ghosts have all gone home
They took their calaveras with the frosting made of bones
And there ain't no señoritas tonight in San Antone

[Refrain]
"No esta noche"
That was all she said
The night before The Day of the Dead
On the night before The Day of the Dead
