Benny Arizona Songtext
von Meriwether

Three-piece suits and handkerchiefs
Benny Arizona
Hair a mess and dressed in black
Benny was alone

His disguise covered a boy whose eyes were like mine,
Clover and blue

And I saved Benny again
From the promised land
What a shame he made
The same mistakes I′ve made
Now old Benny's dead
Again

Broken glass and vodka drinks
Benny Arizona
Escaping from the dreams he thinks:
"Could this be all wrong?"


His disguise shadowed a man who was much more wise,
Honest, and true

And I saved Benny again
From the promised land
What a shame he made
The same mistakes I′ve made
Now old Benny's dead

And blue skies
And white lies
And lack of a compromise
And now I know what I'm headed for

And I saved Benny again
From the promised land
What a shame he made
The same mistakes I′ve made
Now old Benny′s dead
Again
Again
