lyrics
They’re gonna start coming from New York
Artists taking pictures of themselves in the park
Shadowed by the exercising light pants within side to side gravity hands
In the survivor shop speaker boombox
You’ve been awake four hours its only 9 in the morning
And the clouds hang like a limp hood on the city
No One cares to notice
Talkin Mexico City
Talkin Mexico
They’re gonna start selling cheaper toys outside the museums
Like condominiums and diet drinks and new age religions
They’re gonna pay less to their musicians but talk more about their importance
Put up fancy ropes around their dinner places
Talk about stocks, monedas, and financial arrangements
They’re gonna leave the subway cheap but it’s gonna feel that way
I got one more record before I get on the bus and call this one a day
The taxi drivers are telling their very last stories
Apartment buildings are putting up their first windows the predictions are boring
They’re gonna offer you more you might be thinking to take it
But they’ll pull out the rug from under you like a cheap child’s blanket
Ignorance they’ll think it
Most vacant look the greatest
Telling everyone on the internet
This is love this is love
And you’ll wait to get rated
You’re having the poets turn to salesmen
The foreign fascination
malinchista relations
A child on the boat sings a song of a feeling that he’s never been facing
Kick what you can and when you can you should take it
Or leave it all behind for someone else to come break it
Talkin Mexico City
Talkin Mexico City
Artists taking pictures of themselves in the park
Shadowed by the exercising light pants within side to side gravity hands
In the survivor shop speaker boombox
You’ve been awake four hours its only 9 in the morning
And the clouds hang like a limp hood on the city
No One cares to notice
Talkin Mexico City
Talkin Mexico
They’re gonna start selling cheaper toys outside the museums
Like condominiums and diet drinks and new age religions
They’re gonna pay less to their musicians but talk more about their importance
Put up fancy ropes around their dinner places
Talk about stocks, monedas, and financial arrangements
They’re gonna leave the subway cheap but it’s gonna feel that way
I got one more record before I get on the bus and call this one a day
The taxi drivers are telling their very last stories
Apartment buildings are putting up their first windows the predictions are boring
They’re gonna offer you more you might be thinking to take it
But they’ll pull out the rug from under you like a cheap child’s blanket
Ignorance they’ll think it
Most vacant look the greatest
Telling everyone on the internet
This is love this is love
And you’ll wait to get rated
You’re having the poets turn to salesmen
The foreign fascination
malinchista relations
A child on the boat sings a song of a feeling that he’s never been facing
Kick what you can and when you can you should take it
Or leave it all behind for someone else to come break it
