"Rosealia" as written by and Kevin Griffin....
Where have you gone my Rosealia?
Into the crowd he'll never find you
If you walk real fast and you stay down low
[Chorus:]
So many times, so many chances
This one could be your last
You say, "No, no, no the fighting has left me tired"
You say, "No, no, no" but the hurting goes on
Put on your mask wearing your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
Put on your mask wearing your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
What has he done my senorita?
His kind of love is going to kill you
Do you fake a smile when you dodge the blows?
[Chorus]
Ladies and gentlemen of America
There'll no longer be hurt
Jealousy can rip your heart out
And jealousy can turn a hand into a fist
[Chorus]
My Rosealia
Into the crowd he'll never find you
If you walk real fast and you stay down low
[Chorus:]
So many times, so many chances
This one could be your last
You say, "No, no, no the fighting has left me tired"
You say, "No, no, no" but the hurting goes on
Put on your mask wearing your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
Put on your mask wearing your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
What has he done my senorita?
His kind of love is going to kill you
Do you fake a smile when you dodge the blows?
[Chorus]
Ladies and gentlemen of America
There'll no longer be hurt
Jealousy can rip your heart out
And jealousy can turn a hand into a fist
[Chorus]
My Rosealia

Anyhow, i love the double meaning of "put on your mask, wearing your cape...". it's so beautiful. because on the one hand, the mask & cape hide her from her abusive husband and let her escape. but on ther other hand, it's like she's a super hero flying around & stuff. haha. it perfectly captures the duality of hiding & vulnerability with her courage & strength too. truly a tragic girl...so sad.
