A
Bullfighter, Bullfighter, I’ve dreamt to meet you all my life
I’ve worked day and day to watch you dance, night after night Bullfighter, Bullfighter, I’ve come to beg you for a chance Though I am young, I know I was born to hold the cape in my hands
B
I see the women, and how they flock around you Each one at your word to lay beside you
A
My Friend, My Friend, the stars are bright in your eyes
But, know that they will leave you blind and take from you your life In the ring I am hero, when the crowds calls my name
But, if I were to fall dead is dead all the same
Don’t take my words lightly. Let them fall on you like wine Come to my dance tomorrow, let me know how you decide
B
You’ll see the women, all gathered around me Each one at my word to lay beside me
A
Bullfighter, Bullfighter, ten thousand chant your name
All standing in ovation for the biggest bull they’ve seen Black as the sky above him, full of anger full of pain Wild, bucking, throwing mud his head bowed taking aim Bullfighter, Bullfighter, he spins to pull away
By the time he turns to face his fans, his hands cling to his waist Blood pouring through his fingers, stars dying in his eyes
A final blow caves his skull, to take from him his life
His crowd in tears of heartbreak for their hero lying still The bull he runs out the gate, dancing through the hills
B
But the women, they still talk about him Each one at his word, would’ve laid beside him
