Lantana Girl

I go down to the town
Every time at happy hour
Where the streets are lit up
Like a lantana flower

The girls are on stage
Dancing to the music play
I wait my time and buy a few drinks
Hoping one of them smiles and winks

And that will be the time I come
Come to realize the pain
That I had for those some
In my days thinking away

Just as I had hoped
One of them smiled and winked
She came up to me
And with my eyes they did believe
Took her hand and gave her the plan
For a time to live and learn
Without a one night stand
And the memories to burn
For both her and I
To leave this strange, difficult land

And she said
I wish I could but it's too soon
I have to change my ways
And get through this phase
That leaves me in ruin
With so much pain

I looked through my glass
As I was about to pass out
My love to her
She was back on the stage
With not another minute to waste
And I thought I had again
A little too much to taste
