Blondie — Maria (Glastonbury Festival, England, 1999)

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry.
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh, it makes you wanna die.

Ooh, don't you wanna take her,
She doesn't know your name

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind.
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights.

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and full of fire.
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire.

Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind.
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights.

Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?

She walks like she don't care
You wanna take her everywhere
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry.
She's like a millionaire
Walking on imported air
Ooh it makes you wanna die.

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind.
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights.

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind.
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights...
