Yes...let them start for a while, and then we'll start...
[woman] Well that's the Spanish in me
[Jandek & woman] Broke my neck 'till three
[woman] Started wonderin' why
[Jandek] I kept seein'
[woman] the sky
[woman] Took a vacation whoah/ [Jandek] ...vacation whoah oh oh oh
[woman] Water thunderin' blow oh
[Jandek] Pull my back on the sky. Broke my neck until four
[Jandek] Took a vacation / [woman] Whoah!
[woman] Sail away from that port
[Jandek] Somewhere floatin' down a river to Madrid / [woman] Madrid
[Jandek] 'Cause that's the Spanish in me
[woman] Broke my neck until three
[Jandek & woman] Broke my neck until four, broke my neck until five
[Jandek] I was out there floating
[woman] Down a river to Madrid / [Jandek] ...Madrid, lookin' at the sky
[Jandek & woman] Spanish in me! That's the Spanish in me!
[Jandek] I'd rather... / [woman] ...river to Madrid
[woman] Floatin down a river to Madrid
[Jandek & woman] Spanish in me! That's the Spanish in me!
[woman] Floatin down a river to Madrid
