Lyrics Wild Gods of Mexico - Ray Wylie Hubbard

Wild Gods of Mexico

There?
s a lot I don?
t understand
There?
s so much that I don?
t know
Lately, I?
ve been thinkin?
?bout the wild gods of Mexico
Mr. Campbell says they was feathered serpents
Highly revered a 1000 years ago
Now a days, nobody much recalls the wild gods of Mexico
Hearsay?
s got?
em viscous and vain
Demanding blood and flesh and bone
Sacrifice was what it was, for the wild gods of Mexico
The woman I love desired a child
She abandoned hope as we grew old
In desperation I swore an oath to the wild gods of Mexico
With conviction and for recompense
I took a dog and I cut its?
throat
Drained the blood into a wooden cup
For the wild gods of Mexico
Now there?
s a lot I don?
t understand
There?
s so much I don?
t know
Someday soon I?
ll tell my son about the wild gods of Mexico
Someday soon I?
ll tell my son about the wild gods of Mexico
