Border Town / Bury Me In Baja

(álbum: Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights - 2017)

There ain't no love at all in this border town
The wind and the women chase the ghosts around
I work my ass off in these filthy streets
Slinging for the man, I work hard and I work cheap

The howl of the wind, and the shriek of the screams
Better cover up your ears, can't cover up your dreams
They'll find you out, they always do
They ain't coming after me, they're coming after you

Money's rolling in, it takes a hold of me
Fever for the dollar, is all that I can see
They always slit their throats diabolically
Send a message through the city, swinging naked from the trees

The howl of the wind, and the shriek of the screams
Can't cover up your ears, can't cover up your dreams
If they wanted you dead, well you'd already be
They ain't coming after you, well they're coming after me

I beg you Jesus, won't you get me through the night
Come in my heart let me ascend into the light
Take me now, I know I wasn't right
I was wrong, all wrong

No hiding in the woods, no hiding in the street
There's eyes everywhere, seeing everything
I beg for salvation, repent my dirty deeds
Just bury me in Baja, take my body to the sea

Oh the howl of the wind, and the shriek of the screams
Can't cover up your eyes, their coming for your dreams
If they wanted you dead, well you'd already be
They ain't coming after you, well they're coming after me
