Oh mescalito
Many happy returns
You know I'm gonna need you
Gonna need you when I burn
Mescalito
I'll rest in your shadow
You take the sorrow from my heart
And I'll be forever with you
Though the world keeps us apart
Mescalito
Mescalito
What remains is only mud
In the wake of troubled waters
The stain of holy blood
Mescalito
Now the light is dying
We'll soon be dying too
See this hot city summer
Through your eyes so blue
Words on written pages
A pound of coffin nails
Where losing is contagious
I'm tied down to the rails
Mescalito
Many happy returns
You know I'm gonna need you
Gonna need you when I burn
Mescalito
Take the sorrow from my heart
Oh mescalito
Though the world keeps us apart
Though the world keeps us apart
