lyrics

Mexico

there is an act of sabotage, it is impending
I have built houses on quicksand
and ideas on the wings of a fruit fly
we say the word Mexico and we don't mean it
if a map could be the means
if arriving the end

waiting is one strategy, weighing the options another
I prefer eating my food before it gets cold
I prefer burning my tongue to saying the wrong word
of which there are many
and they all start with "y"
these are the possibilities laid out
along the side of your body
we say the word Mexico and we don't mean it
if a map could be the means
if arriving the end

the sky is ambiguous and so am I

you never told me that there were earthquakes in Olympia
I had been looking for a utopia when I was looking into your eyes
not that I didn't find it there, I think I did
but it's on the back of a bird flying south
it's on the back of a bird flying south
when look up I see the weather and that the way up is much further
than the way down I could even say
I'm already there
