The problem was later solved when a friend of the band met an American manager and asked for help. He suggested Escobar. The band was informed and they approved. After changing the C into a K instead everyone was satisfied. Eskobar was born.

Sorry you betrayed me
Worried you enslaved me

It goes on and on on and on again
Let's get those mountains alive now
Looks like my walking will come back to him
Seems like it's never gonna pass

Worried you betrayed me
Sorry you enslaved me

It goes on and on on and on again
Let's get those mountains alive now
Looks like my walking will come back to him
Seems like it's never gonna pass

And I
Walked on with the sun in my eyes, for you
And I
See there's no reason to try
And I
Stand here with nothing to hide, for you
And I
Don't wanna say goodbye

It goes on and on on and on again
Let's get those mountains alive now
Looks like my walking will come back to him
Seems like it's never gonna pass

Seems like it's never gonna pass
Seems like it's never gonna pass
