Story Behind the Song
Hmm, the motivation was a girl I broke up with in Monterey, CA in the late 90's. She went around town lying about the real reasons for the break-up, so I wrote this song to tell my side of the story. It took about an hour to write, 5 hours to produce, and 3 takes to record with my partner "Papi". Enjoy!
Lyrics
TWILIGHT
VERSE
ONCE UPON A TIME
IN AN OH SO CRAZY WORLD
INSIDE YOUR LOVING ARMS, UM
I FOUND THE PERFECT GIRL,
BENEATH THE WEEPING WILLOW
BY THE SEA OF DESTINY,
NO FORCE ON EARTH COULD STOP US, NO,
YOU AND ME IN HARMONY
BRIDGE
NOW I’M WINDOW SHOPPING, FOR TRUE LOVE,
MY HEART HAS FALLEN, WOULD YOU PICK IT UP,
WILTED ROSES, IN MY BED,
OUR DAY IS OVER, AND CUPID SAYS
CHORUS
WELCOME TWILIGHT, AND THERE’S OUR STAR (HERE COMES TWILIGHT TIME AND THERE’S OUR STAR)
WINES AND KISSES, AND CAVIAR (WINE AND CHAMPAGNE KISSES CAVIAR)
DON’T LET THIS BALLAD, GO TO YOUR HEAD,
BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T THAT GOOD, MISUNDERSTOOD,
VERSE 2
TWICE UPON A TIME,
I THOUGHT YOUR LOVE WOULD SET ME FREE,
BEHIND YOUR EYES WERE COUNTLESS LIES, (I WAS)
A JUNKIE FOR LOVE AND FAMILY,
NOW 6 MONTHS DOWN THE LINE,
OOH, HOW FILES THE TIME (YES IT DOES)
I USED TO BE THE HERO IN YOUR LIFE,
NOW I’M YOUR LOSER VALENTINE,
BRIDGE 2
NOW I’M WINDOW SHOPPING, FOR TRUE LOVE,
MY HEART HAS FALLEN, WOULD YOU PICK IT UP,
WILTED ROSES, IN MY BED,
THE DAY IS OVER, AND CUPID SAYS
CHORUS 2
WELCOME TWILIGHT, AND THERE’S OUR STAR (HERE COMES TWILIGHT TIME AND THERE’S OUR STAR)
WINES AND KISSES, AND CAVIAR (WINE AND CHAMPAGNE KISSES CAVIAR)
DON’T LET THIS BALLAD, GO TO YOUR HEAD,
BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T THAT GOOD, ANYWAY, RAR~
BRIDGE 3
NOW I’M WINDOW SHOPPING, FOR TRUE LOVE,
MY HEART HAS FALLEN, WOULD YOU PICK IT UP,
WILTED ROSES, IN MY BED,
THE PAIN IS OVER, AND CUPID SAYS
CHORUS 3
WELCOME TWILIGHT, AND THERE’S OUR STAR (HERE COMES TWILIGHT TIME AND THERE’S OUR STAR)
WINES AND KISSES, AND CAVIAR (WINE AND CHAMPAGNE KISSES CAVIAR)
DON’T LET THIS BALLAD, GO TO YOUR HEAD,
BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T THAT GOOD, ANYWAY, IN BED
