Oh Mexico, all the time
Dreamin' all about Acapulco and a sweet thing on my mind
Mogadishu sunrise, low above the sea
All of those lawyers in California won't bring her back to me
Back to me, back to me
Oh Mercenary Girl
Of all the lowdown places in the world
To be stuck inside of a phone booth
Hangin' on the end of a line
While this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind
Oh Mary, Mary, I think you're fine
'Cause you can mix a margarita from a bottle of turpentine
Just between noon and midnight, that's when the battle rages on
Mama I just gotta make one more call and I'll be here with you all
night long
All night long, all night long
Oh Mercenary Girl
Of all the lowdown places in the world
To be livin' in another city
Comin' from another time
I know it's a cold cruel world
But your eyes look soft and kind
And this civil war keeps ragin' in my mind
Oh Mercenary Girl
