Break

A man was shot right through the hand

Yesterday in Ixcatan

Nobody knows why

They saw the shooter fly

Late-model Chevrolet

Through the dust of a dying day

The fear of God dripping from his hands

Like the blood that was dripping in Ixcatan

They held him up, down in Ixcatan

 But the blood of a bull ain't the blood of a man

One's for love, the other for pain

But you can't tell that from the color of the stain

The color of the stain

Meanwhile on the mountain-side

A bull's being killed for a Spanish bride

The men were in the river washing blood from their hands

The wedding's gonna be in Ixcatan

The police here were looking for the crazy man

Put a bullet through a young man's hand

They down at the river with their automatic guns

The groom was washing up in the evening sun

They held him up, down in Ixcatan

But the blood of a bull ain't the blood of a man

One's for love, the other for pain

But you can't tell that from the color of the stain

They held him up, down in Ixcatan

But the blood of a bull ain't the blood of a man

One's for love, the other for pain

But you can't tell that from the color of the stain

From the color of the stain

The color of the stain

No you can't tell that from the color of the stain

The color of the stain

The color of the stain

No you can't tell that from the color of the stain

The color of the stain

The color of the stain

You can't tell that from the color of the stain

The color of the stain

The color of the stain

No you can't tell that from the color of the stain

The color of the stain

The color of the stain

You can't tell that from the color of the stain

The color of the stain

The color of the stain

You can't tell that from the color of the stain

The color of the stain
