A Mexican Funeral In Paris
There was Zombi, there was Chino there was Jimmy and Chiarakaparos We agreed to split the stuff up At a Mexican funeral in Paris Don Alvaro Jose Sanchez Bathed in Holy water Said a silent adios to his lovely daughters To his sons and to the killers A scar, tattoo, a blood line scorned Revenge the only game! Father McGreer arrived with the gear Had a chat and a bit of a smoke He initiated me into The Church of the Holy Spook he said "Death will follow anywhere Until it's found its plan" Then he laughed and waved goodbye and said "Stay lucky while you can!" Machine gun fire split the silent Softness of the day Five wetback jerks in tuxes Got fucking blown away I walked to a bar so fuckin stoned I thought I was Chiarakaparos First time I've been, but maybe not the last To a Mexican funeral in Paris Aus Songtexte Mania
