"Down In Mexico" lyrics

"Down In Mexico"

Oh, yeah!

Alone
Down in Mexico
The city's burning with a fever, and it doesn't know
The shame is in the river
It won't get me here
No, it can't get much nearer
Oh no, oh no

She moans, and it's feeling right
I've got a siren by the hand on this restless night
The fantasy plays as the work is done
The game is over, but it's just begun

Hey, you've got me feeling alone
But I can't say I blame you
Hey, baby, I'm not feeling so strong
But I've given it all to this lady
She takes me away
I'm losing it all to this lady
She's got me in chains
And I'm being burned

Oh
A storm destroying everything
This changing of the season and another fling
Relations abused, elations confuse
Can't take this back with a sorry excuse

Hey, you've got me feeling alone
But I can't say I blame you
Hey, baby, I'm not feeling so strong
But I've given it all to this lady
She takes me away
I'm losing it all to this lady
She's got me in chains
And I'm being burned
Lesson is learned
Yeah!

Oh, play a little game, baby
You change the rules, but it's me you can blame
Oh, play a little game, baby
You change these rules, but it's me with the shame

(I'm alone)
(I'm alone)

Alone
Down in Mexico
The city's burning with a fever and it doesn't know
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Yeah!

Oh!...
