Don't Sing

An outlaw stands in a peasant land
And in every face sees Judas
The burden of love is so strange

The stubborn beast and the whiskey priest
Are hiding from the captains
The burden of love is so plain

Are they happy to see you? No
You always bring trouble
Cast a shadow on Mexico, denial doesn't change facts

Like most I'll come when I want things done
Please God don't let that change
The anguish of love at long range

Should've been a doctor, oh
Then they can see what they're getting

Oh no, don't blame Mexico
That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo
They ask for more than you bargained for
And then they ask for more
Oh no, don't blame Mexico
That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo

Rob me of colour, make the sound duller, but never go away

Through teeth of sharks the autumn barks,
And winter squarely bites me
Don't ever do this again

Dawn breaks in the southern states
And blindfolded he rests
The burden of loves last request

That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo

Oh no, don't blame Mexico
They ask for more than you bargained for
And then they ask for more
Oh no, don't blame Mexico
That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo

They ask for more than you bargained for
And then they ask for more

Rob me of colour, make the sound duller, but never go away
