You were a killer down in Mexico,
Watching John the Baptist drown
With the Angel of Guadalupe
Whispering in your ear
All the lonesome songs the hopeless sing.
A crown of thorns in her mouth.
You were sinking fast, you were fixed & free
And holier than thou.

Like a ghost on a sinking ship
An eternity from land
With your Houdini Scholarship Ticket
Tossed over the rail.
You were warned like the rest of us
You was born to be had.
You were Jesse James in the mirror.
You were sad like a lamb.

And all the saviors
In the Market Place
Were looking for an out.
Cuz when you burn a trail
To the Promised Land
Might have to lay your body down
In Old Mexico

We were busted 'fore they hit the door
You were lost and I was damned.
You cursing the day I was born.
And I was learning to laugh.
All the bent spokes of wheels, broke.
The walls around us slammed.
The cuffs for coke, the weed just smoke.
Born on the Day of the Dead.

In old Mexico.
