Conquistador - Momus

If I slipped away

Maybe nobody’d notice

You’d probably say

It’s just one of those things

With a little dismay

And a shrug of the shoulders

You’d buy a coat

Against the cold

Love has left the arena

Love has left the arena

One day I’m here

The next I vanish

It seems severe

But you carry on

It’s not the end of the world

There are compensations

Maybe it’s money

Maybe it’s drugs

Love has left the arena

Love has left the arena

This world is spectacular

With many diversions

You can ski down a mountain

In a dayglo suit

You can build up an empire

You can be a conquistador

And when you’ve won

What’ll you do?

If love has left the arena

Love has left the arena
