Calexico - Crystal Frontier lyrics

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 ...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
