Man, it was mean to be seen in the robes you wore for Lentyou must've known that it was Easter There for a while, in your smile, I could see Mexico blood say"This is true I was a Teaser"There were a thousand Manitas, being exchanged for Pesetas Man! It was hard not to laugh out loud I couldn't believe the size of the crowd You must have fooled them into coming Wow! There were women and children, too They would have hanged us if they knew I think I know for certain Inside you sniggered so hearty, you only came for the party Man, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was mean Remember the time, what a time, we had down in Barcelonaafter you'd been slaying babies There, for a time, I was fooled by your disguises, but Inever thought of smashing rules You wore the yellow bandana and gave out Heavenly Manna Then in Amsterdam you were perfect fun You never let on you had a gunand then you shot that Spanish Dancer The speed at which we ran for a mile or two,they would have crucified us if they knew I think I know for certain Inside you sniggered so hearty, we only killed for the party Man, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was mean Man, show me something I've never seen, you're only real in your Dream Machine And all your games are a little drastic Just throw me out if I get obscene but that's the way that I'vealways been I think I know for certain Inside you sniggered so hearty, we're only living a party Man, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was mean
