I am from Salinas where the women go forever
And they never ever to stop to ask why
My mother was a savior of
six foot of bad behavior
With long blond 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
The careless beast was bleating
that the air behind was breathing
That they musn't ever look up to the sky
There are no answers there are found
Ask the angels Am I heaven bound
Put it down to me I who speak awkwardly
Any 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
When the clouds roll in
we start paying for our sins
With a gun in my hand
and my sun at my shoulder
Believe me 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 she's a savior
of six foot of bad behavior
With long blond 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
Punish them all for they speak too much
Hate the world for what it did to us
Will I ever see heaven again
