Mescalito

Oh mescalito Many happy returns You know I'm gonna need you Gonna need you when I burn Mescalito

I'll rest in your shadow You take the sorrow from my heart And I'll be forever with you Though the world keeps us apart Mescalito

Mescalito What remains is only mud In the wake of troubled waters The stain of holy blood Mescalito

Now the light is dying We'll soon be dying too See this hot city summer Through your eyes so blue

Words on written pages A pound of coffin nails Where losing is contagious I'm tied down to the rails Mescalito

Many happy returns You know I'm gonna need you Gonna need you when I burn Mescalito Take the sorrow from my heart Oh mescalito Though the world keeps us apart Though the world keeps us apart
