Scorpions sting

I hear the mission bells ring

Another night of runnin’ is another day

I don’t dance the hangman’s swing

All roads lead back to Tucson

Pray, Maria I don’t find the noose on

La Policia’s askin’ questions

 Say you don’t know nothin’ and you ain’t seen a thing

“Ave Maria!”

 I pray,

“Ave Maria!”

 I pray!

They say the blood is on my hands

‘Cause I put down the money

and I made up the plan

Blue eyes

White lies

Straight teeth and a crooked soul

 Let the red blood and the green dinero flow

-

iAmericano!

Maria these things I do

Every night they cut me in two

It’s in my blood to live for the kill

But God only knows that I want to stay and love you

Full moon is on the rise

Patron saint of love and lies

The payoffs and the alibis

Shotgun shells and four-wheel drives

“Ave Maria!”

 I pray,

“Ave Maria!”

 I pray!

They gonna find me guilty as a trigger man

 ‘Cause I put down the money and I made up the plan

Blue eyes

White lies

Straight teeth and a crooked soul

 Let the red blood and the green dinero flow…

¡Americano!

I can burn like a wildfire

Disappear like a ghost

A dagger in my cloak

I’m a rich and gracious host

Don’t fear my ill repute

The sweetest fruit is stolen fruit

 And if you’re feelin’ dirty, cruel or mean

Let a little more money make your conscience clean

“Ave Maria!”

 I pray,

“Ave Maria!”

 I pray!

They say the blood is on my hands

‘Cause I put down the money and I made up the plan

Blue eyes

White lies

Straight teeth and a crooked soul

 Let the red blood and the green dinero flow…

Blue eyes white lies straight teeth and a ravenous soul

 Let the red blood and the green dinero flow

-

¡Americano!
