[Intro: bright synth hook, handclaps, whispered Spanish ad-libs] (Hola, mi amor... ¿me buscabas?) [Verse 1] Glitter on the lounge mirror, I'm the brightest thing in sight, I can read you from the doorway, what you're needing, what you'll buy. You want sweet, I'm sugar. You want trouble, I'm a dare, honey in my accent, just enough to keep you there. [Verse 2] I dyed it blue in Bogotá so I'd stand out from the rest, 'cause a girl that you can't picture is a girl that nobody saves. But a girl you can describe on a phone line gets found, Azul, five foot two, and they found me just the same. [Chorus] Tell me who you want, mi amor, and I'll be her (ay, mi vida), any name you like, any story, I'll make it sound true. Blue hair in a crowd, I'm the easiest girl to find, just like this, baby, I don't ever have to change. [Verse 3] Sunday at a storefront church, I'm crying in the second row, the pastor holds my hand too long, and I write down what he owes. I keep a ledger, every name, every price, every face, 'cause a girl who knows too much is a girl you can't replace. [Bridge: beat cuts out, raw unprocessed vocal, accent thickens] A motel room in Nogales and a soldier in the door, "Just like this," he told me, "you don't ever need to change." Then he made me a vampire and he left me in the dirt, I clawed out behind a Circle K, and I came up smiling, y mi versión, esa no se la he contado a nadie. [Final Chorus: full gloss snaps back on, brighter than before] Tell me who you want, mi amor, and I'll be her (ay, mi vida), any name you like, any story, I'll make it sound true. Blue hair in a crowd, I'm the easiest girl to find, just like this, baby, I don't ever have to change. [Outro: synth hook, one detuned note left hanging]
