Crystal Frontier

(album: Aerocalexico - 2001)

Marco's shadow falls on the door
to the 7 Lost Cities of Gold.
Finds a raven's head and rattler's tail
dead in his tracks, this Godforsaken soul's
unwanted here and his curse lingers for years.

Amalia's face hides behind the mask,
sweating on the TV factory line.
That smile on her face is starting to crack,
while welding back the pieces of a shattered heart
that's scattered out here, with the ghosts of her peers.
Searches for her lost child along the River of Tears... the River of Tears

The end of the working week
when drunken worlds meet;
both sides keeping a close eye
for a break in the line here... on the Crystal Frontier

Ramon tightens up his leather belt
and slips on through a hole in the fence.
He can get you anything you want
it might cost you a life, it might cost you
the whole price of freedom here...on the Crystal Frontier,
searching for your lost love along the River of Tears... the River of Tears

Blood spills out on the streets
and bodies are missing for weeks;
both sides keeping a close eye
watching the bullets fly here... on the Crystal Frontier
...Crystal Frontier
