In Mexico Lyrics

Big veranda, stately trees
Servants bring me fruit and cheese
Flowers bloom and feed their bees
Underneath the Sword of Damocles
And I'm shooting speed
'Cause that's what I do
When I can't get what I need from you
In Mexico
Every Eden has its price
Here you have to pay it twice
Servants bring me beans and rice
But there's snakes in every paradise
'Cause I'm shooting speed
That's what I do
When I can't get what I need from you
In Mexico
In Mexico
I'm the crazy one they can point to
I'm the one who's taking the heat
So I slip out at night
And walk through the street
I say yes, sir
I say ma'am
When they ask me who I think I am
Servants bring me steak and lamb
While I measure by the milligram
I'm shooting speed
'Cause that's what I do
When I can't get what I need from you
In Mexico
In Mexico
Oh, in Mexico

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
