	San Simon a.k.a. Maximon, "The Deity of whores, of liars and thieves. He's got a cane in his hand, a cigar in his teeth." Why the devils chose him for their patron saint is open to speculation. For a better understanding of this curious enigma, the band recommends that you make a pilgrimage to the Templo of San Simon in Chichicatstenengo, Guatemala, or if this is not possible, that you at least listen to the song.

	Lyrics San Simon We're going down to Guatemala City To meet a man they call San Simon We're going down to Guatemala City And then well find our way back home In the center sits San Simon Reigning on his throne In a black cowboy hat and black tuxedo Watching people come and watching them go He's an outlaw saint A mysterious man A warlock, a sorcerer, a magician Well we're gonna light a dozen candles Drink Quetzalteca and smoke Payasos Red for love, Blue for health, White for the kids and Green for wealth We're going down to Guatemala City To meet a man they call San Simon We're going down to Guatemala City And then well find our way back home He's the Deity of whores, Of liars and thieves He's got a cane in his hand and A cigar in his teeth He's got bottles at his feet and a gleam in his eye He's the saint of falsehood The god of lie There's soot on the walls and Smoke in the Air Thousands of plaques are Offering up prayers There is a man being whipped by sage and Drenched in Alcohol There is a crying Indian lady Wearing a multi-colored shawl We're going down to Guatemala City To meet a man they call San Simon We're going down to Guatemala City And then well find our way back home Maximon, Maximon, San Simon San Simon We're going down to Guatemala City To meet a man they call San Simon To Chichicatstenengo together or alone We're gonna find old San Simon
