She wakes among the sleeping furs
Sangre de cristal light
Incantations without words
Shaking off the night
Blessing all God's little children
Bless the water as it rains
Blessing all God's little creatures
Calling them by name
Santa Keisha
See me as a broken man
Underneath the bougainvilleas
Take me as I am
You can smell her on your fingers
You can taste her in your tears
She licks your wounds like wolves
And your journey's end is near
We were dancing back in Juarez
With the one-armed violin
We toast to all the pretty girls
Who died for our sins
Santa Keisha
Won't you help me understand?
Underneath the bougainvilleas
Won't you take me as I am?
As I am
As I am
Joro said he knew your mother
Before trouble had a price
But now there's only absolution
In the blood of sacrifice
You can take her as a lover
But in the morning she'll forget
You can love her as a killer
Then you kill without regret
Santa Keisha
I come before you broken down
Underneath the bougainvilleas
Help me come around
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
All God's little angels
Keep a whisper in their tongues
While she sleeps among the furs
And your troubled world is gone
Santa Keisha
I come before you a broken man
Underneath the bougainvilleas
Take me as I am
As I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am
We were dancing back in Juarez
To the one-armed violin
We toast to all the pretty girls
Who died for our sins
