Cinco de Mayo
[Verse 1]
Cinco de Mayo
Blow out, denial
It wasn't fun this time
Letting you go

[Verse 2]
What if I never
A bullet forever
Held out my hand to you
We wouldn't have known
Beautiful flow

[Bridge]
Absolute measure, I ain't no pleasure hound
Bus' out of control, plowing the road
Out on a bender, just Alice falling down
A deepening hole
I'd never been to Rome until you smiled
You're about as old and piled
I used to pray for snow

[Verse 3]
Now I just wonder
What spell I was under
Thinking you thought of me as
Something to hold
[Bridge]
I'd never been to Rome until you smiled
You're about as old and piled

[Verse 4]
Cinco de Mayo
Burn-out, Ohio
It wasn't me this time
Letting you go
