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
