Salinas

I am from Salinas

Where the women go forever

And they never ever stop to ask why

My mother was a savior

Of six foot of bad behavior

Long blonde curly hair down to her thigh

Oh my mother

Oh my friends

Ask the angels

Will I ever see heaven again

Late into the evening

They would take each other screaming

Looking darkly to the back of her eye

Careless beast was bleeding

That the air behind was breathing

That they mustn't ever look up to the sky

There no answers

There are found

Ask the angels

Am I heaven bound

Mmmm put it down to me

I who speak awkwardly

An word if it is heard

Is not intended to be

Not for him not for her

Not for them and not for me

Oh and that gun will turn

Before the sun starts to burn

Understand

Mmmm and the clouds roll in

We start playing for our sins

With a gun in my hand and my son at my shoulder

I believe I will run before that boy gets older

Oh and that gun will turn

Before the sun starts to burn

Understand

Oh and that gun will turn

Before the sun starts to burn

Understand

I am from Salinas

Where the women go forever

And they never ever stop to ask why

My mother was a savior

Of six foot of bad behavior

With long blonde curly hair down to her thigh

Oh my mother

Oh my friends

Ask the angels

Will I ever see heaven again

Will I ever see heaven again

Will I ever see heaven again

Hmmm

Punish them all for they speak too much

Hate the world for what it did to us

Will I ever see heaven again
