Mexico '84 - The Pilgrim

I had a match, but she had a lighter I had a flame, but she had a fire I was bright, but she was much brighter I was high, but she was the sky Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico Oh baby, I was bound to let you go Ahh haa, ahh haa Alright, alright, alright, hey I don't know much about Cinco De Mayo I'm never sure, what it's all about But I say I want you and you don't believe me You say you want me but I've got my doubts Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico Oh baby, I was bound to let you go Ahh haa, ahh haa Alright, alright, alright, hey hoo, hoo, hay I had a match, but she had a lighter I had a flame, but she had a fire I was bright, but she was much brighter I was high, but she was the sky Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico Oh baby, I was bound to let you go Ahh haa, ahh haa Alright

Here comes another song about Mexico I just can't help myself I lost my old lady Got my lures Got my bobbers Now I'm gonna go Got off in the wrong direction Found a hooker and lost my erection So I had to lie In the letter to the boys back home Now the good guys and the bad guys Never work past noon around here They sit side to side in cantinas Talk to senoritas And drink warm beer Here comes the same old verse about Mexico We just can't help ourselves So I had to lie In the letter to the boys back home Now the good guys and the bad guys Never work past noon around here They sit side to side in cantinas Talk to senoritas And drink warm beer Here comes the same old verse about Mexico We just can't help ourselves We lost our old ladies Got our lures Got our bobbers Now we're gonna go Got off in the wrong direction Found some hookers and lost my erections And we had to lie In the letter to the boys back home So the good guys and the bad guys Never work past noon around here They sit side to side in Cantinas Talk to senoritas And drink warm beer So the good guys and the bad guys Never work past noon around here They sit side to side in Cantinas Talk to senoritas And drink warm beer We lost our old ladies Got our lures Got our bobbers Now we're gonna go Got off in the wrong direction Found some hookers and lost my erections And we had to lie In the letter to the boys back home So the good guys and the bad guys Never work past noon around here They sit side to side in Cantinas Talk to senoritas And drink warm beer So the good guys and the bad guys Never work past noon around here They sit side to side in Cantinas Talk to senoritas And drink warm beer

And how do I choose and where do I draw the line Between truth and necessary pain? And how do I know and where do I get my belief That things will be all right again? What words do I use to try and explain To those who have witnessed all my tears? And what does it mean to know all these things When love's been wasted all these years When love's been wasted all these years Standing in the shadows With my heart right in my hand Removed from other people Who could never understand I was a pilgrim for your love A pilgrim for your love A pilgrim for your love I was a pilgrim for your love Its like living in a nightmare Like looking in a blackest hole Like standing on the edge of nothing Completely out of control Now where have I been all these years And how come I just couldn't see Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness I was a pilgrim for your love I was a pilgrim for your love Standing in the shadows with my heart right in my hand Removed from other people who could never understand Standing in the shadows with my heart right in my hand Removed from other people who could never understand I was a pilgrim for your love A pilgrim for your love... I was a pilgrim for your love A pilgrim for your love... I was a pilgrim for your love A pilgrim for your love

Come a long way, come a long way Come a long way Not to work it out As cold comfort Wraps around you in the dark Come a long way Come a long way Not to ask the question that's been on your lips all the way Spit it out The words come out, yeah It's already Not as heavy as before Come a long way Come a long way Come a long way Come a long way Just to say Doesn't matter when it mattered yesterday And tomorrow ain't too far Come a long way From small beginnings Come a long way From small beginnings Come big endings

Eg er framand, er er ein pilgrim Berre ei kveldsstund er eg her Steng ikkje vegen for eg vil fylja Guds folk til strid over berg og bylja Yo no soy de esta tierra Ni conozco a nadie Quien lo haga Quien lo hiciera bien por mi niño Que Dios se lo pague El querer El que yo te tengo Si de plata fuera Otro más rico que yo en el mundo No hubiera
