Jolie Holland - Mexico City lyrics

rate me

Jack and Edie lying across my bed

Flying high like the spirits of the dead

The living and the dead

The living and the dead

Our Lady of Sorrows and the long dark night

How many candles could I light?

For the living and the dead

The living and the dead

What's that black smoke rising Jack?

Is the world on fire?

What's that distant singing?

Is it a heavenly choir?

The living and the dead

The living and the dead

I think about you Jack, watching the tv

And drinking booze

Shame on you , Shame on me

But how can we help it, there was no where else to go

I sent Julie and Billy out on that long hard road

on that long hard road

on that long hard road

I'm just back from Mexico city

I came back north to Texas

To rest my weary head

My true love is fresh from the battle field

Sewing up the dying and carting off the dead

My baby don't stand for no fighting

Amongst the living or the dead

OooOoHooOhhHhhh Ugh ugh ugh….OOooO LLLoong roooaaooddd…

What's that black smoke rising Jack

Is the world on fire?

What's that distant singing

Is it a heavenly choir?

The living and the dead

The living and the dead

The living and the dead

The living and the dead

The living and the dead

The living and the dead <br />

<br />
