Calexico - Across The Wire Lyrics
alberto hits his brother on theback of the head, looks to the northas he starts to get uphis brothers still sleepygrumbles "it's not light yet,""if you want a new life, what'sa few minutes wait?"darkness on the road and over the landinto the laws and out of the handsfrom those with so muchand no show of heartyou'd think it'd be crazyto ask for a small partspotted an eagle in the middle of a lakeresting on cactus, feasting on snakesbut the waters recede as thedump closes in, revealing a whole lakeof sleeping childrenpoison in the stream that flows to the seaout on the waves that crash within reachof those with so muchand so little to fearyou'd think it'd be crazyto be so far away yet so nearsome say a new day will shine hereover these catastrophes and horrorsof misfortune, all across the wireAlberto y Hermano on the coyote's trailand dodging the shadows of the border patrolout in the wastelands wandering for daysthe future looks bleak withno sign of changedarkness in the eye and downin the soulall across the wire to those in controlholding so muchwith no show of heartyou think it'd be crazyto watch it all fall apartwatch it all fall apart
