Like a zipper getting caught in a daydream
On its way to a grasshopper close
I wish I could drown all of my doubts in the highlands
Make my peace with a tartan parade
Like a record spinning tales on a windmill
Or Cervantes riding tall on mezcal
I wish I could slay dragons with envy
Take the green, make a shamrock shake
But I am torn between two cities
Between two loves
Between to shores
I am torn between the rocks and the sand
The lonely or forlorn
I am torn
Like tomorrow always waiting for the sunrise
To make the bubbles in the oranges alive
I wish I could fly away like a butterfly
Done with change, onto grasses more green
‘Cause I am torn between two cities
Between two loves
Between to shores
I am torn between the rocks and the sand
The lonely or forlorn
I am torn
Torn between two cities
Between two loves
Between to shores
I am torn between the rocks and the sand
The lonely or forlorn
I am torn
Torn
Torn
I am torn
