My Morning Jacket - El Caporal lyrics

If you really wanted me to know
Then you've sure got a funny way of showing
El Caporal el Caporal
El Caporal you're money's no good here

Well if you really don't want me to know
Then you sure got a silly way of showing
El Caporal el Caporal
El Caporal my dog's not in your dumpster

Slide through your life
Straight like a knife sway when you dance
Play a game in your pants
It's all new you see the believing in things
Believing in things that I do

Have we played all the chords we can finger?
Have we made all the musical shapes?
I just hope that my kisses, love will linger
On your sweet, confused captain's face

And the things you say just
Aren't making any sense
And the wars you wage
Are mostly killing innocents
When I want to say
All that's good has gone away
You tell me no, it isn't so

But, if you really wanted me to know
Then you sure got a funny way of showing
El Caporal el Caporal
Your love lasted forever
Your love lasted forever
