Lyrics
0:16An outlaw stands in a peasant land
0:21And in every face sees Judas
0:24The burden of love is so strange
0:29The stubborn beast and the whiskey priest
0:34Are hiding from the captains
0:37The burden of love is so plain
0:42Are they happy to see you No
0:44You always bring trouble
0:48Cast a shadow on Mexico denial doesn't change facts
0:56Like most I'll come when I want things done
1:01Please God don't let that change
1:04The anguish of love at long range
1:08Should've been a doctor oh
1:12Then they can see what they're getting
1:17Oh no don't blame Mexico
1:23That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
1:35They ask for more than you bargained for
1:37And then they ask for more
1:42Oh no don't blame Mexico
1:49That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
1:56Rob me of colour make the sound duller but never go away
2:02Through teeth of sharks the autumn barks
2:07And winter squarely bites me
2:10Don't ever do this again
2:15Dawn breaks in the southern states
2:19And blindfolded he rests
2:23The burden of loves last request
2:33That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
2:40Oh no don't blame Mexico
2:47They ask for more than you bargained for
2:48And then they ask for more
2:54Oh no don't blame Mexico
3:01That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
3:12They ask for more than you bargained for
3:15And then they ask for more
3:19Rob me of colour make the sound duller but never go away
An outlaw stands in a peasant land And in every face sees 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 of colour 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 of colour make the sound duller but never go away
