  1. Mexico

From the recording Mexico

Ageing mule looks back on borderland life

Lyrics

                                                 MEXICO                                 
It rolls down the jetway and hits on the run
I smell your diesel burned in the sun
Lost in a state of mired indecision
The faintest of hope keeps me carrying on
Kicked out of time, chased wild euphoria
Distant drums played and in the mirror we danced
The dance of the hours, the last action hero
He’s withered and grey, now he’s lost his romance
And he takes it slow
Way down low
You can call it Mexico
 
The cinco de mayo
In Nuevo Laredo
Down on the Rio Grande
Well the DEA lost their way
Down on the Borderland
Down in Mexico
If I get low
You can find me way down
In the ground
 
Truth and the stranger
Oil and the ice
I’ll catch you later
I won’t think twice
The mercy of shamans on the redeye tonight
Darkness vacated and the morning is bright
Preachers and outlaws and sinners and saints
All got the message and even those who ain’t
All make the journey as each one must
To the land of the spirits , and the diesel and the dust
Down in Mexico
