I am from salinas

Where the women go forever

And they never ever stop to ask why

My mother was a saviour

Of six foot of bad behaviour

With long blonde 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

A careless beast was bleating

That the air behind was breathing

That they mustn’t ever look up to the sky

There no answers

There are found

Ask the angels

Am I heaven bound?

Hmm 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

And not for them and not for me

Oh and that gun will turn before the sun starts to burn

Understand

Hmm when the clouds roll in

We start playing for our sins

With a gun in my hand

And my son at my shoulder

Believe 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 saviour

Of six foot of bad behaviour

With long blonde 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 what it did to us

Will I ever see heaven again?
