[Verse 1]
Oh, Mescalito
Many happy returns
You know I'm gonna need you
Gonna need you when I burn
Mescalito

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Mescalito
What remains is only mud
In the wake of troubled waters
The stain of holy blood
Mescalito

[Verse 4]
Now the light is dying
We'll soon be dying too
See this hot city summer
Through your eyes so blue
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Words on written pages
A pound of coffin nails
Where losing is contagious
I'm tied down to the rails
Mescalito

[Verse 6]
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
