Thrown to the Wild

Calexico is a Tucson, Arizona-based Americana / Tex-Mex / indie rock band. The band's two main members, Joey Burns and John Convertino, first played together in Los Angeles as part of the group Giant Sand. They have recorded a number of albums on Quarterstick Records, while their 2005 EP In the Reins recorded with Iron & Wine has reached the Billboard 200 album charts. Their musical style is influenced by traditional Latin sounds of mariachi / conjunto / cumbia / Tejano music and also the Southwestern United States country music as well as '50s-'60s jazz and '90s-'00s post-rock, and they have been described by some as "desert noir" or indie rock. The band is named for the border town of Calexico, California. more »

Cold linoleum just seems to amplify
Every sob, every sound, every sigh
Down at the bus station waiting for the red eye
Tears of a stranger no method to this madness
No proof of sadness
Do you steer clear (ooh)
Or do you turn around?

Home's waiting like a motherless child
From the chaos we're thrown into the wild
In an instant it could all go away
Or we could choose to keep holding on to the pain (ooh)

Do you steer clear
Wide glances in the cracked and dirty mirrors
One last time
Console the town and their future
As it slides away
