SONG FOR DJANGO

Django was amazing
when he showed up for the gig
just before the downbeat
he'd come waltzing in
cigarette dangling
as his fingers made their way
up and down the Champs Elysee

Took you 'round the world
broke your heart and stole your girl
sang a song nobody else could sing
and all you had before
you don't need it anymore
all you need
is just one perfect thing

Django had a monkey
No place they wouldn't go
Hotels didn't like it
but it was Django
One of the wise ones
who knew the only goal:
To walk out of the fire with your soul

Took you 'round the world
broke your heart and stole your girl
left you with the sorrows of a king
and everything you knew
and all you thought was true
you'd trade it all
for just one perfect thing
trade it all
for just one perfect thing

ah, you never see it coming
ah, but you always see it go
I wish
I didn't know

Django was amazing
if he showed up for the gig
just before the downbeat
he'd come dancing in
