Lyrics

[Verse 1] Went to the five and dime Bought myself a copy of Time And on the cover was a woman that I knew When I was excavating in the mountains of Peru Caught a plane to L.I.A Didn't know what I would say Maybe she would like me, I had lost a lot of weight Since she had last seen me in 1988 [Verse 2] Went to a local bar Ordered a cerveza Asked a man about the woman on the cover Dijo, "Claro que si, es el presidente's daughter." Asked him where she might be "You did not hear this from me The girl is a terrorista En las montanas a Chuquibambilla." Took a bus through mountains Oh, my head was pounding Gotta stay strong and carry on Gotta stay strong, it won't be long Arrived in the villa Surrounded by guerrillas Then my girl took me in her arms [Verse 3] She said, "How you been? Oh, but I'll see you again." I woke up in a coffin underneath An altar to the east of Machu Picchu Crawled from the royal tomb The sun was bright, it burned my eyes I knew that she was gone So I went [Chorus 1] Down to the riverside And I cried Down to the riverside I cried I went down to the riverside I went down and I cried I went down to the riverside I went down and I cried [Chorus 2] Muchas veces, I don't know if I'm coming or I'm going Muchas veces, I'm at a loss as what to do Muchas veces, I don't know if I'm coming or I'm going Muchas veces, I'm at a loss as what to do [Chorus 1] I went down to the riverside And I cried Down to the riverside I cried [Guitar Solo] [Trombone Solo] [Verse 4] My friend said, "She's nothing but pain." I said, "I still love her the same All she needs is a little bit of love and I'm sure I can make her change some." "What about that girl in Zaire That you met while a volunteer? She got quite the education and Quite the pair of legs on her." "Oh, she married an Englishman A correspondent for CNN She thought he was rather handsome In a UN blue flak jacket Oh, I see where you're coming from But for me, there is no other one I must be on my merry way." [Verse 5] Went to the five and dime Bought myself a copy of Time And on the cover was a woman that I knew Claiming she was a kahuna on Oahu Caught a plane to H.I.A The sun was bright, it burned my eyes I knew that she was near 'cause I felt [Chorus 3] Shivers on my spine I felt fine Shivers on my spine
