Roger Clyne - ¡Americano!Lyrics

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 ¡Americano! 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 ravenous soul Let the red blood and the green dinero flow ¡Americano!
