In Mexico

Big veranda
Stately trees
Servants bring me
Fruit and cheese

Flowers bloom and
Feed their bees
Underneath the
Sword of Damocles

And I'm shooting speed
'Cause that's what I do
When I can't get what I need
From you in Mexico

Every Eden
Has its price
Here you have to
Pay it twice

Servants bring me
Beans and rice
But there's snakes in
Every Paradise

'Cause I'm shooting speed
And that's what I do
When I can't get what I need
From you in Mexico
In Mexico

I'm the crazy one they can point to
I'm the one who's taking the heat
So I slip out at night
And walk through the street

I say yes sir
I say ma'am
When they ask me
Who I think I am

Servants bring me
Steak and lamb
While I measure
By the milligram

I'm shooting speed
'Cause that's what I do
When I can't get what I need
From you in Mexico
In Mexico
Oh, in Mexico
