Yucatan |
Lyricswhen eve saw the apples hanging on the tree of knowledgered and ripe she knew she had to take a bite it made her feel like the queen of the universe she was 1000 feet tall and she knew it all and she cleaned out the whole tree before midnight by sunrise the garden was a different place the streets were paved all the flowers were gone and so was all the grass and eve was out on 42nd street shaking her ass adam was standin in line down at the mission looking for a meal or trying to make a deal and here i am standing on the corner with a pocket full of pebbles and a head full of sand and if you're on the level and if you can understand you can hear me whisper "get it right here, it's straight from yucatan" Yucatan - she waits for me like a snake in the grass Yucatan - silent and deadly seductive and lightning fast Yucatan - she can rip your heart out she can take over your mind Yucatan - she steals my soul and leaves me here to die temptation rules the night like a voodoo queen with a giant hoover she sucks me in before i see her i won't even know she's in the room one minute i am cruising along riding high and the next i am hanging upside down with eyeballs bulging and lips turning blue i struggle against the power of her fist but she has me in her iron grip and she will squeeze until my head explodes like a balloon at a birthday party everything i have is gone all i can hear is her deadly song her messenger is outside knocking on my door waiting for me to score and as he hands me the package he offers his pen and says "sign here the directions are clear, and the package is straight from yucatan". Yucatan - she waits for me like a snake in the grass Yucatan - silent and deadly seductive and lightning fast Yucatan - she can rip your heart out she can take over your mind Yucatan - she steals my soul and leaves me here to die |
