Lyrics Prefab Sprout

Prefab Sprout

Don't Sing

An outlaw stand in a peasant land

In every face see Judas

The burden of love is so strange

The stubborn beast and the whiskey priest

Are hiding from the captains

The burden of love is so plain

Are they happy to see you? No

You always bring trouble

Cast a shadow on Mexico, denial doesn't change facts

Like most I'll come when I want things done

Please God don't let that change

The anguish of love at long range

Should've been a doctor, oh

Then they can see what they're getting

Oh no, don't blame Mexico

That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo

They ask for more than you bargained for

And then they ask for more

Oh no, don't blame Mexico

That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo

Rob me a color, make the sound duller, but never go away

Through teeth of sharks the autumn barks, and winter squarely bites me

Don't ever do this again

Dawn breaks in the southern states

And blindfolded he rests

The burden of loves last request

That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo

Oh no, don't blame Mexico

They ask for more than you bargained for

And then they ask for more

Oh no, don't blame Mexico

That's the feast that the whiskey priest may yet have to forgo

They ask for more than you bargained for

And then they ask for more

Rob me a color, make the sound duller, but never go away
