Salinas Songtext / Lyric

I am from Salinas where the women go forever

And they never ever to stop to ask why

My mother was a saviour of six foot of bad behaviour

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?"

"Oh 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 them, not for her

Not for him, and not for me



Oh and that gun would 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 I will run before that boy gets older



Oh and that gun would turn before the sun starts to burn, understand

Oh and that gun would 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 saviour of six foot of bad behaviour

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 even again?

Will I ever see even again?



Punish them all, for they speak too much

Hate the world for what it did to us



Will I ever see heaven again?
