Americano - Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers

Scorpions sting

I hear the mission bells ring

Another night of running

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 asking questions

Say you don't know nothing

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 feeling 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
