In Mexico

[Verse 1]

Big veranda

Stately trees

Servants bring me fruit and cheese

Flowers bloom and

Feed their bees

Underneath the Sword of Damocles

[Chorus]

And I'm shooting speed

'Cause that's what I do

When I can't get what I need from you

In Mexico

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

'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

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

And 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
