Lyrics:
The crops are all in and
The peaches are rotting
The oranges are packed in the creosote dumps
They're flying you back to the Mexico border
To pay all
the leeches begin to
suck away the lust for life
Escape takes lead
into a world unknown uncontrolled by all
where borders are erased and potential infinite
by the one-sided wall
Down at the border, facing that wall
Racking my brain for the cause of it all
No one to point to, no one to blame
I can't
Eat it when you're ready
But maybe you'll choose (you'll choose, you'll choose, you'll choose)
A refreshing herbal tea
Mmm, lovely!
Oh, by the way,
and men and people
For some it's good and some, stupid evil
For Kings and Queens and El Presidente
Or passer-by and spy or could wind up in the cemetery
A long time ago in the small border town of Nogales
There lived a beautiful Mexican girl named Ava Maria Morales
Her dark hair would glisten
side by side
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Vite before the killers go free
There's some
people there to love and cheer
Some of the greatest guitar playin' in the western hemisphere
Got the Who, the Band from across the north border Canned Heat
the law
I’m running out of time
Chasing a chance of getting older
I’ve got my money bag
I’m never going back
I’m moving slowly to the border
I’m wanted by
Across the border they turn water into wine
Some say it's the devil's blood
They're squeezing from the vine
Some say it's a savior
In these hard
used
He wanted money up front, said he was abused
By dignity
Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand
Steps goin' down into tattoo land
I met
even tell me where, we are going
Hands over my eyes, hands over my eyes
Don't even tell me where, we are going
Just walk, just walk, by my side
It
uptown
By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
But I'd be raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Well I just might grow me some
I was in a van
A cold day in January stopped sliding by
They wanted to know
"where ya from? where ya heading?"
Just everything I knew which was
[Call of Jotunheim]
[Somewhere behind the border of the known world you may hear the drumming and the heavy steps of the giants. They are born out
around me could benefit from silence.
This song is my enemy, watch how I become it.
Cradled by mystery and make believe,
I am fully(?) in the other
a land by the sand, grab the money
Plastic the life, end of the century
People actin' fake can't see the omens
Wake up yourself â??cause change is
used
He wanted money up front, said he was abused
By dignity
Footprints runnin' cross the silver sand
Steps goin' down into tattoo land
I met
to the court like, "Bitch I did that"
Ain't no black power when your baby killed by a coward
I can't even keep the peace, don't you fuck with one of ours
It
thinking
I so often misconstrue
Treading water treading white wine
Seeing borders seeing straight lines
I get these feelings that I don't
Have much
In the morning you go gunning for the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in but they catch you at the border
And the mourners
plate we break
Cracked by scattered needles
Little minute gong
Coughs and clears his throat
Madam you see before you stand
Hey ho, never be still
Lamps in the windows burnin' bright, over in Santa Fe tonight
Full moon shining down along the border
But the ground is hard and the night is black
Got a job as a border guard great rates of pay
A uniform don't work you too hard
I ride the wire on my four by four
With my Ray banns I see a world
I
