Mary I'm tired
Of walking on wires
And wiping the dust from my eyes
I'm lying awake at night
Drowning in Bakelite
Sauces and home apple pies
These polka dot dresses
And Sunday confessions
Can't wipe the stain from out of the skies

Oh New Mexico
So long

We sent out a cable
To the archangel Gabriel
And asked for the power of the sun
Then we built us a black star
Out on the white sands
And told all the cameras to come
But after the thunder
The handshakes and wonder
The silence came down like a shroud on everyone

Oh New Mexico
So long

I burned all the pages
Of all the newspapers in town
And I watched as the ashes
Settled like flies on the ground

No there's no need to mention
The kind of intentions
Lining the road I have paved
Let's just pull out the driveway
And head for the highway
We'll say our goodbyes with a wave
Don't we all have something
We used to believe in
Before the truth came along and got in the way?

Oh New Mexico
So long
So long
