Alright, then
It's time for you and me
To settle this thing
Once and for all
Dios a mano
Mano a mano
Dios a hombre
Mano a mano
You just gonna sit there?
Are you gonna say anything?
I can't even tell
There's total blankness in your eyes
Look straight down to the bottom
And don't think there's anything there
You gonna say anything?
Or are you just gonna sit there?
Well, go ahead, and be that way then
I alone make you my concern
Never far from where I can turn
Send your agents of compromise
I can stand the horror of your eyes
There's an angel in cold suspense
Took communion from hard cement
There's a garden hidden by a fence
State your terms let's end this argument
Because I have a soul
How do you know that I have a soul?
How can you tell that I have a soul?
When I feel like hell

God is wasted God is gray
God is banking on a better day
God is thinking that God's alright
God never runs out of time
God is a rocket God's on fire
Counting the days 'til he retires
God is wisdom God is grace
God is inventing a better race
God takes the cake it tastes divine
God is a crow on a power line
God is blank, yeah God is white
God is a spectator tonite

Everything breaks and I get delivered
Everything shakes and I get the sliver
Everything tastes just like chopped liver
Everything breaks and I get delivered
All right, etc.
If you take the hand of faith tonite
You better have an air-tight alibi
Because the game is rigged it's do or die
Turn your cards face up and kill the light
For the big score
For the big score
For the big score, big score wrong or right
Take your chances, dig 'em, it's do or die
For the big score
For the big score

Only English Spoken Here
03:11

The peso weighs heavy against the dollar
It's visa that's spoken here
It's cold but the priest turns down his collar
There are no confessions to hear
Hide the silver from the yankees
Don't cast your pearls before swine
You order a cerveza but they bring you a beer
It's the language of the conquerors that bends God's ear
There's only English spoken here
Try to hide away until everything's gone
Queda quieta prieta
Pronto va a pasar bien
They're dancing on the heads of angels
But the angels know where they've been
If they keep knocking on the heads of angels
They better take care that the angels let them
Order a cerveza, etc.
There's plenty to see here amigo
Another show at 9
Don't mind the cripple he just lives here
Don't let it spoil a good time
Hide the silver, etc.
I don't want your sister so you call me a queer
You traded Zapata for Britney Spears
There's only English spoken here
Try to hide away, etc.

Naked
02:23
|

Traffic slows down for a dog on the road and I see it
Tried to turn left but a cop's in the way so I beat it
I know something that shows when I fake it
Ear-splitting back-slapping knock-at-the-door so I get it
I'm naked
I'm naked
I'm naked
I'm naked and alone
Coffee's gone cold that I got at the store so I drink it
Six month lease on the bottom floor so I break it
You can't go through life without killing an insect
Blood's on the bone but you can't take it home so you leave it
I'm naked, etc.
Shot down after I was told to fly so I hoof it
Can't spend time with my old friend so I see ya
Sure it hurts but it's always getting better
Closing the gap but I'm not getting nearer to it, ha ha
I'm naked, etc.

Roads leading somewhere
Away from this town
Signs facing backwards
You don't hear a sound
Left on a corner
As he speeds away
A look in the mirror
Says you're here to stay
When I could speak
Of the things I hold dear
No need for reminder
No falling on deaf ears
Made up our homes
With what you left behind
Borders and foundries
Abandoned mines
Gone away
It's all a waste
You can't stand your ground
When it's giving away
Turning a page
On a wreck of a year
No free love utopia
No golden-hair nymph
Leading an army
Of deserters on parade
Storming the casement
On a one-man crusade
Gone away
It's all a waste
The dreams that you're chasing
Are giving away
Gone away
It's all a waste
You can't stand your ground
When it's giving away

Malvado
02:53
|

Amigo, do you believe that a man is capable
Of anything he can hold in his heart, in his hands?
Do you believe that you can know what's in a man's heart
When the shadow of doubt crosses over his eyes?
Amigo, do you believe I'm a good man or a bad?
Do you believe that I can gut you right where you stand?
Well, believe it
Believe it because worse I have done
Malvado, etc.
Detendras
It's not because I like you or you show me respect
It's not because I mind cleaning up another mess
See, power is a drug with a mind all its own
It really starts to work when you leave it all alone
There's no way I'm ever going to give it up
This time the flame is coming to the moth
But I'd like to think that I can just say no
So before I change my mind take these keys and go
Malvado, etc.

The hammer is yammering
Find me some pattern
So I fired him against the wall
The hole I keep fixing's
Got the ladder to bitching
Next time he's going to fall
Because it's never as good as it was before
Make up the bed then sleep on the floor
I'm telling you friend he's man overboard
I'm running through the yard
Staring back at Mark
The dogs are barking
The neighbors are talking
The gates are locked
This banded impression
Has led to a session
That's left on the cutting-room floor
These words I keep stealing
They keep me from spieling
It's all been done before
It's never as good as it was before
Invited me in then you locked the door
I'm telling you friend he's man overboard
I'm running through the yard
Staring back at Mark
The dogs are barking
The neighbors are coughing
The gates are locked
The dance of the drunken munecas
An offering to the sea
Maybe it was a vacation
Or an offer of amnesty
It's never as good as it was before
Watching the front
While you rob the store
I'm telling you friend he's man overboard
Well, I'm running through the yard
Staring back at Mark
The dogs are barking
The neighbors are laughing
The gates are locked

Something
02:53

Of all the stupid ideas
This has got to be the worst
I'm a broken wagon wheel
Driven by a teamster's thirst
I will be invited
I will be exposed
I won't blame this father's daughter
For tearing down this road
Because I don't know
No, I don't know
Say a prayer in my direction
Burn the candles low
I want to be remembered
By something I don't own
I don't know, etc.
An eden sea
A need in green
What God has spoken over
I am not the answer
I am just for show
If there's truth behind the fashion
That's something we can know
But the wonder of it is
That I don't wonder at all
I don't know, etc.

The Great Highway
03:07

On the great highway
I'm driving hard today
I'm going far away
It's hard to say
I can't keep away
From the great highway
There's a price you pay
For living every day
You find a name to say
And a part to play
To keep from running away
To the great highway
On the great highway
Point it straight down the lane
The faces blur and fade
I'm one wreck away
I can't keep awake
On the great highway

Monkey boy's busy
He's making a scratch
He's eking a living
Off a junkie's back
It's a dangerous occupation
Because he doesn't believe
There's anything wrong
With a junkie's needs
So it's off to Mexico
Gonna see what they know
This sorry spectacle
Is way too slow
There's going to be a hot time
In the old town tonite
When the monkey boy monkey boy
Meets the corn god
Tonite
There's a reason
The good die young
And some mothers
Eat their kids
Cemeteries filled
With good conversation
It's only marriage
That kills
So it's off to Mexico, etc.
A cloud of dust
A pale sunrise
A blue Ford
In front of a church
Angry voices
Come from inside
Someone's got
No business in here
Yeah, I can take a hint
Man, it's way too tight
Hand 'em over here
Let's get it right
You can't be slow, lord
Don't you know
When the monkey boy monkey boy
Meets the corn god
Tonite
