Pain was hunting me down but I gave him the slip



I left the city through a tunnel and I headed for the skids

With arain or oil in the morphine drip

Pain was ahunting me down but I gave him the slip

And I fell in love with the biblical twins

And theres thirtyfour summers between the two of them

I gave one my ego, I gave one my id

Yeah, I got to get back to my pretty little twins

I was lost for a year in those almond trees

The sun was rising in the south and setting in the east

I was a half awake, I was half asleep

I thought Id never get out of those almond trees



And dont think too slow in circling the sun

Youll get buried alive when the caterpillar comes

Tapping your time on congo drums

Just dont think too slow in the circling sun



I met a blackskinned man with an ice cream grin

And a blonde afghan with some heroin

And we moved to the mountains where the highway ends

And I got myself that ice cream grin



So dont search too hard for that Aztec gold

Well, I owe Cortez, youll lose your soul

Turn an honest man into Diablo

Yeah, dont trade your soul for no Aztec gold
