alamo
heard all about your fandango
banged on my knees on your back door
only to wake you to blues on the way
blues on the way
blues on the way

embarcar
figures you'll see me as older
twenty-three hours till the border
don't think i'll be going as fast as i came
fast as i came
fast as i came

tears on my pillow
of course they're not mine
alter that altar
making a play
somebody invent the telephone line
i'll take mine
my chances

alamo
wish i could do what gold does
heard that the stars were in order
got yourself dealt a hand with
two queen of spades
and blues on the way
blues on the way

tears on my pillow
of course they're not mine
alter that altar
making a play
somebody, just
somebody, invent the telephone line
i'll take my chances

Tori: "How do you know about Alamo?"
Girl: "Cause your single was released on Monday!"
Tori: "Shit. I've never played that before. Hang on hang on hang on. (Mr. Fuzzy goes flying) Shows you how much I care about Mr Fuzzy. OK. Lemme think...lemme think. What key is it in?"
Guy: "E flat"
Tori: "Is it? (plays a few notes) It is NOT in E flat. hangon hangon hangon hangon hangon...I'll get it. (plays first few notes in the wrong key - stops) I wanna play this. I wanna do it, just be patient and I'll figure it out. (applause) Turn the lights down, Simon, they're flustering me. OK, now I haven't played this since I recorded it and I just kinda wrote it on the spot so my brain has like noodles in it...but...um...how does it go...shhhh. (sings: aah-la-mo...) oh yeah, I got it now (begins playing)"
