Don't Sing

Lyrics

An outlaw stand in a peasant land
 In every face see Judas
 The burden of love is so strange
 The stubborn beast and the whiskey priest
 Are hiding from the captains
 The burden of love is so plain
 Are they happy to see you? No
 You always bring trouble
 Cast a shadow on Mexico, denial doesn't change facts
 Like most I'll come when I want things done
 Please God don't let that change
 The anguish of love at long range
 Should've been a doctor, oh
 Then they can see what they're getting
 Oh no, don't blame Mexico
 That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
 They ask for more than you bargained for
 And then they ask for more
 Oh no, don't blame Mexico
 That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
 Rob me a color, make the sound duller, but never go away
 Through teeth of sharks the autumn barks, and winter squarely bites me
 Don't ever do this again
 Dawn breaks in the southern states
 And blindfolded he rests
 The burden of loves last request
 That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
 Oh no, don't blame Mexico
 They ask for more than you bargained for
 And then they ask for more
 Oh no, don't blame Mexico
 That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
 They ask for more than you bargained for
 And then they ask for more
 Rob me a color, make the sound duller, but never go away
