I choose to stay far away from the ones that think
Money is money to share
Don't ask me why, I'll tell you no lies.

Sonny don't come here no more
He don't drink from this well
He's done with the world
And done with the girl
I don't ask him why
He tells me no lies

Those of us who are lost and low
I know how you feel
I know it's not right but it's real
But it's real

I don't ask for love
And I don't beg for money
I'm just asking for grace and forgiveness now honey
Don't ask me why
I'll tell you no lies

Been looking for answers in unsavory places
On the highest of mountains
And the lowest of bases
And I still don't know why
I still don't know why

Those of us wo are lost and low
We know how you feel
We know it's not right but it's real
But it's real

I took the wind from the sea
I took the blood from an arrow
I took the wisdom of spring
And I was thrown and blown and tossed and turned
Until time found its hand
And called it an end

Me and time, we go way back when
I was a child and I always knew why

And I knew my name, oh I knew my road
And I stayed away from heavy loads
And still I'm low
Oh lord, am I low

Those of us who are lost and low
I know how you feel
I know it's not right but it's real
But it's real

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
Long blonde curly hair down to her thigh
O my mother
O 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 eyes
A careless beast was bleating
That the air behind was breathing
That they musn't ever look up to the sky
There no answers
There are found
Ask the angels
Am I heaven bound?

Mmmm 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
O and that gun will turn
before the sun starts to burn
Understand

Mmmm when the clouds roll in
And we start paying for our sins
With a gun in my hand
And my son at my shoulder
Believe I will run
Before that boy gets older
O when that gun will turn
Befor the sun starts to burn
Understand
O when 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
Long blonde curly hair down to her thigh
O my mother
O 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? Will I ever see heaven again?
