Testo ¡Americano!

Testo ¡Americano!

Scorpions sting

I hear the mission bells ring

Another night of runnin' is another day

I don't dance the hangman's swing
All roads lead back to Tucson

Pray, Maria I don't find the noose on

La Policia's askin' questions

Say you don't know nothin'

and you ain't seen a thing



?Ave Maria!?

I pray,

?Ave Maria!?

I pray!



They say the blood is on my hands

'Cause I put down the money

and I made up the plan



Blue eyes

White lies

Straight teeth and a crooked soul

Let the red blood and the green dinero flow...

¡Americano!



Maria these things I do

Every night they cut me in two

It's in my blood to live for the kill

But God only knows

that I want to stay and love you

Full moon is on the rise

Patron saint of love and lies

The payoffs and the alibis

Shotgun shells and four-wheel drives



?Ave Maria!?

I pray,

?Ave Maria!?

I pray!



They gonna find me guilty as a trigger man

'Cause I put down the money and I made up the plan



Blue eyes

White lies

Straight teeth and a crooked soul

Let the red blood and the green dinero flow...

¡Americano!



I can burn like a wildfire

Disappear like a ghost

A dagger in my cloak

I'm a rich and gracious host

Don't fear my ill repute

The sweetest fruit is stolen fruit

And if you're feelin' dirty, cruel or mean

Let a little more money make your conscience clean



?Ave Maria!?

I pray,

?Ave Maria!?

I pray!



They say the blood is on my hands

'Cause I put down the money and I made up the plan



Blue eyes...white lies...straight teeth and a ravenous soul

Let the red blood and the green dinero flow

¡Americano!
