Meanwhile, out where nothing starts Out where the rail yard ends The sun up above us is trying to k** himself We were watching the skies again Why do we come down to Brownsville Year after year after year? This was the question we never even posed Ringing like a siren in our ears Down on the Mexican border In the unfathomable heat With our shirts tied around our waits And the world at our feet
We looked at one another's bodies Figured we looked all right Ready to die if we had to Watching the skies all night And I was sure my heart would break When the sun sank down into California I felt your breath on my neck, it was hot and good and pure And I wanted to warn you It's all coming apart again It's all coming apart again It's all coming apart again It's all coming apart again
