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
