Day of the Dead

歌詞

Day of the dead down in Mexico You ever been on a holiday? You ever thought that you been here before You ever been in a desperate way On the beach stands a donkey who is waiting for you He hee-haws, stamping his hoof A fine blue day as dreamed by the boys Nodding up on the roof And in the meetings held in the darkness And in the darkness everyone's blind Venereal monsters stand there in velvet And you know you're falling behind Drink in a bar down in Leap Motel I get involved with a prisoner She's got a skull like a seraphim I figure she is a messenger She's at the heart of the festival She's got the hands of a picador She asks the spirits for a romance She gets a ghost for a paramour And in the weddings held in the darkness 'Cause in the darkness the guests are all blind Great lumps are melting wrapped up in satin And I know you're falling behind Day of the dead down in Mexico We read a book on the Alamo We filled the tank up with Texaco We buy a trinket for curio We walk big stuff through the marketplace Dripping smoke, dollars and aftershave I got the mind of an astronaut Emerging from the shell unscathed Climbing out of hell unchanged But then the dealers deal in the darkness And in the darkness dealers are blind Jokers and aces, bruisy and blackfern I know you're falling behind
