The Beach Boys
Heroes and Villains (Smile Sessions Version)
[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

[Chorus]
Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done
Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

[Verse 3]
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
[Acapella Bridge 1]

[Bridge 2]
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 our love will be? Dance
"You're under arrest!"

[Bridge 3]
My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow, long ago, head to toe
Healthy, wealthy and wise

[Bridge 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]
