Church - Day Of The Dead lyrics

rate me

Day of the dead down in Mexico<br />

You ever been on a holiday?<br />

You ever thought that you been here before<br />

You ever been in a desperate way<br />

On the beach stands a donkey who is waiting for you<br />

He hee-haws, stamping his hoof<br />

A fine blue day as dreamed by the boys<br />

Nodding up on the roof<br />

<br />

<br />

And in the meetings held in the darkness<br />

And in the darkness everyone's blind<br />

Venereal monsters stand there in velvet<br />

And you know you're falling behind<br />

<br />

<br />

Drink in a bar down in Leap Motel<br />

I get involved with a prisoner<br />

She's got a skull like a seraphim<br />

I figure she is a messenger<br />

She's at the heart of the festival<br />

She's got the hands of a picador<br />

She asks the spirits for a romance<br />

She gets a ghost for a paramour<br />

<br />

<br />

And in the weddings held in the darkness<br />

'Cause in the darkness the guests are all blind<br />

Great lumps are melting wrapped up in satin<br />

And I know you're falling behind<br />

<br />

<br />

Day of the dead down in Mexico<br />

We read a book on the Alamo<br />

We filled the tank up with Texaco<br />

We buy a trinket for curio<br />

We walk big stuff through the marketplace<br />

Dripping smoke, dollars and aftershave<br />

I got the mind of an astronaut<br />

Emerging from the shell unscathed<br />

Climbing out of hell unchanged<br />

<br />

<br />

But then the dealers deal in the darkness<br />

And in the darkness dealers are blind<br />

Jokers and aces, bruisy and blackfern<br />

I know you're falling behind
