San Acacia
She wakes among the sleeping furs Sangre de Christo Light
Incantations without words Shaking off the night
Blessing all God's little children Bless the water as it rains
Blessing all gods little creatures Calling them by name
San Acacia See me as a broken man
Underneath the bogenvillas Heal me with your hands
You can smell her on your fingers You can taste her in your tears
When she licks your wounds like wolves
We were dancing back in Juarez to the one armed violin
And we toast all the pretty girls who died for our sins
San Acacia Won't you help me understand
Underneath the bogenvillas Won't you take me as I am
As I am As I am
Arturo said he knew your mother before trouble had a price
But now there's only absolution in the blood of sacrifice
You can take her as a lover in the morning she'll forget
You can love her as a killer You can kill without regret
San Acacia I come before you broken down
Underneath the bogenvillas Help me come around
Take me as I am Take me as I am
All gods little angels keep her whisper in their tongues
While she sleeps among the furs and your troubled world is done
San Acacia I come before you a broken man
Underneath the bogenvillas Take me as I am
Take me as I am Take me as I am
So we're dancing back in Juarez to the one armed violin
And we toast all the pretty girls who died for our sin
