I am from Salinas where the women go forever And they never ever to stop to ask why My mother was a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour With long, blond curly hair down to her thigh
Oh my mother Oh my friends Ask the angels "Will I ever see heaven again?"
Late into the evening, they would take each other screaming Looking darkly to the back of her eye
The careless beast was bleating that the air behind was breathing That they musn't ever look up to the sky
There are no answers There are found Ask the angels, "Am I heaven-bound?" "Oh am I heaven-bound?"
Put it down to me I, who speak awkwardly Any word, if it is heard, is not intended to be Not for them, not for her Not for him, and not for me
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand
When the clouds roll in, we start paying for our sins With a gun in my hand and my sun at my shoulder Believe I will run before that boy gets older
Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand
I am from Salinas where the women go forever And they never ever stop to ask why My mother, she's a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour With long, blond curly hair down to her thigh
Oh my mother Oh my friends Ask the angels, "Will I ever see heaven again?" "Will I ever see even again?" "Will I ever see even again?"
Punish them all, for they speak too much Hate the world for what it did to us
