Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been in this town so long that back in the city I've been taken for lost and gone And unknown for a long, long time Fell in love years ago with an innocent girl From the Spanish and Indian home Home of the heroes and villains [Verse 2] Once at night, cotillion squared the fight And she was right in the rain of the bullets That eventually brought her down But she's still dancing in the night Unafraid of what a dude'll do In a town full of heroes and villains (Dum-be-dooby-doo-wah) [Chorus] Heroes and villains Just see what you've done Heroes and villains Just see what you've done [Verse 3] [Wordless Vocals] Stand or fall I know there shall be peace in the valley And it's all an affair of my life With the heroes and villains [Bridge: Brian Wilson, Mike Love, The Beach Boys, Gene Gaddy] [Wordless Vocals] In the cantina, margaritas keep the spirit high There I watched her She spun around and wound in the warmth Her body fanned the flame of the dance Dance, Margarita Don't you know that I love you? (Dance) Dance (Woo, woo, woo, woo) "You're under arrest!" My children were raised You know they suddenly rise They started slow, long ago, head to toe Healthy, wealthy and wise (Boys and) (Girls and) (Boys and) (Girls and) [Verse 4] I've been in this town so long So long to the city I'm fit with the stuff To ride in the rough And sunny down snuff, I'm alright By the heroes and [Chorus] Heroes and villains Just see what you've done Heroes and villains Just see what you've done [Instrumental Outro]
