Mexican Sun

Lyrics

I rode into your one-horse town In a time of ages dark Past widows' windows, so dark with fears I believe my dogs refused to bark Past clap-board walls so paper thin You could see where the shadows all had run To escape from the heat, of that noon-day beat That comes down from the Mexican Sun Into the heart of your velvet room With the Singapore string doorways Past all those cringing Indians soaking there in rye Holding on to mescalito pains Your voice it sounded so round and sweet And caressed me till I felt the shivers run Saying thеre's none herе to fight, relax and take respite I'll warm your frozen body with my tongue Ah wich way I cried and heard you sigh My friend which ever way you turn The I saw your silhouette, come gliding round the bed In an open silken dressing gown I'd gladly stay here for one quite so sweet Come here babe and I'll throw down my gun To that tequila numbing and those guitars a-thrumbing I'll surrender to the Mexican Sun Oh holy ghostly phantom town Your mirage the grew dark And the siren voice I heard singing sweet Turned to a fox's bark And the clap-board walls collapsed within To the sound of the locusts hum And that noon-day beat came with the white-hot heat And came down from the Mexican Sun
