Lyrics

MEXICO 10/97-11/09
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
Just the faintest of hope keeps me carrying on

Absinthe and angels 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
In Mexico
Mexico

Now the shaman, high on Sally-D says
“You can fly if you are willing”
Shaman why do you put your faith in me?
He says “It’s just my way of giving”

So preachers and outlaws and sinners and saints
All got the message and all find their way
All make the journey as each one must
To the land of the spirits , and the Mayans and the dust

In Mexico
Down in Mexico
Mexico
Mexico
