Church - Day Of The Dead Lyrics
Day of the dead down in mexicoYou ever been on a holiday?You ever thought that you been here beforeYou ever been in a desperate wayOn the beach stands a donkey who is waiting for youHe hee-haws, stamping his hoofA fine blue day as dreamed by the boysNodding up on the roofAnd in the meetings held in the darknessAnd in the darkness everyones blindVenereal monsters stand there in velvetAnd you know youre falling behindDrink in a bar down in leap motelI get involved with a prisonerShes got a skull like a seraphimI figure she is a messengerShes at the heart of the festivalShes got the hands of a picadorShe asks the spirits for a romanceShe gets a ghost for a paramourAnd in the weddings held in the darknesscause in the darkness the guests are all blindGreat lumps are melting wrapped up in satinAnd I know youre falling behindDay of the dead down in mexicoWe read a book on the alamoWe filled the tank up with texacoWe buy a trinket for curioWe walk big stuff through the marketplaceDripping smoke, dollars and aftershaveI got the mind of an astronautEmerging from the shell unscathedClimbing out of hell unchangedBut then the dealers deal in the darknessAnd in the darkness dealers are blindJokers and aces, bruisy and blackfernI know youre falling behind
