when you start to play that part 
can't feel right in your heart 
why not call my name 
on the corner of the street
where we used to meet
before all this shame 

away away - over the border
away away - across the sea
away away - where did they take you
they took you away - should have been me

so light your tiny cubans
in a ballroom full of sailors
light your tiny cubans
we won't give up the fight 
beautiful misfits tonight

when you slip on that gown
and you keep your eyes cast down
despite all your fame
so many traitors out there 
they all act as though they care 
but they're all the same

away away - they just can't break you 
away away - they won't break me
away away - they just can't break you
they took you away - should have been me

so light your tiny cubans
in a ballroom full of sailors
light your tiny cubans
we won't give up the fight 
beautiful misfits
beautiful misfits tonight
