I am from Salinas
Where the women go forever
And they never ever stop to ask why
My mother was a savior
Of six foot of bad behavior
Long blonde curly hair down to her thigh
Oh, my mother
Oh, my friends
Ask the angels
Will I ever see heaven again?
Late into the evening
They would take each other screaming
Looking darkly to the back of her eye
Careless beast was bleeding
That the air behind was breathing
That they mustn't ever look up to the sky
There, no answers
There are found
Ask the angels
Am I heaven bound?
Mmmm, put it down to me
I who speak awkwardly
An word if it is heard
Is not intended to be
Not for him, not for her
Not for them, and not for me
Oh and that gun will turn
Before the sun starts to burn
Understand?
Mmmm, and the clouds roll in
We start playing for our sins
With a gun in my hand and my son at my shoulder
I believe I will run before that boy gets older
Oh and that gun will turn
Before the sun starts to burn
Understand?
Oh and that gun will turn
Before the sun starts to burn
Understand?
I am from Salinas
Where the women go forever
And they never ever stop to ask why
My mother was a savior
Of six foot of bad behavior
Long blonde curly hair down to her thigh
Oh, my mother
Oh, my friends
Ask the angels
Will I ever see heaven again?
Will I ever see heaven again?
Will I ever see heaven again?
Hmmm...
Punish them all for they speak too much
Hate the world for what it did to us
Will I ever see heaven again?
Hmmm...
