Mexican gold, the cross is gray
Everyone'll place it their own way
War for love, that's what we say
Wear your hair to mourn today
Silent kisses that make me die
Well I don't believe your alibis
You won't ever fight me, fight me strong
Cause you'll never know me, know me long
But...the longer you stare with pretty eyes
The more I want to try you on for size
My sense of atonement does not exist
I don't want to learn what conflict is
Chorus:
Mexican gold, the cross is gray
Everyone'll place it their own way
War for love, that's what we say
Wear your hair to mourn today
Golden hearts are led astray
Still young they fall down, ricochet
Bouncing around to lose your life
Is like laying your heart on the point of a knife
But...the longer you glance with pretty gaze
The more I feel I'm becoming crazed
Insane for gold, we fight and kill
We learn our lessons, but continue still
And Mexican gold, your cross is gray
Anyone can murder when only at play
War for love, don't make me say
I'll wear my hair to mourn today
Chorus:
Mexican gold, the cross is gray
Everyone'll place it their own way
War for love, that's what we say
Wear your hair to mourn today
