Mescalito

[Verse 1]

Oh, Mescalito

Many happy returns

You know I'm gonna need you

Gonna need you when I burn

Mescalito

[Verse 2]

I'll rest in your shadow

You take the sorrow from my heart

And I'll be forever with you

Though the world keeps us apart

Mescalito

[Verse 3]

Mescalito

What remains is only mud

In the wake of troubled waters

The stain of holy blood

Mescalito

[Verse 4]

Now the light is dying

We'll soon be dying too

See this hot city summer

Through your eyes so blue

Yeah

[Verse 5]

Words on written pages

A pound of coffin nails

Where losing is contagious

I'm tied down to the rails

Mescalito

[Verse 6]

Many happy returns

You know I'm gonna need you

Gonna need you when I burn

Mescalito

Take the sorrow from my heart

Oh, Mescalito

Though the world keeps us apart

Though the world keeps us apart
