Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Americano! lyrics

Scorpion 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 k** 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 The shotgun shells and four-wheel drives "Ave Maria!" I pray, "Ave Maria!" I pray! They're 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 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!
