lyrics
listen to the bell of the black mariah
hell’s broke loose and the fat’s in the fire
black wind blowing from the palace to the parlor
brothers to the mothers and the
fathers and the daughters, we run
listen to the bell of the black mariah
hell’s broke loose and the fat’s in the fire
Puente’s boys running down from the chapel
little black books with their own kind of gospel, we run
who pays for the price of the air in the sky
the same ones broke from being buried alive
praying for our time, reclaim our home and sons
but until then, we run
listen to the bell of the black mariah
devil’s out dancing on the old high wire
General Franco marching through the valley
black bandanas and cocktails in the alleys, we run
listen the bell of the black mariah
devil’s out dancing on the old high wire
swords and rifles bringin’ all kind of evil
Shrdlu’s fiddlin’ on top of the steeple, we run
listen to the bell of the black mariah
hell’s broke loose and the fat’s in the fire
came to a head at the back of the station
just in time for the king’s coronation, we run
