An empty road and a rusted sky An abandoned mardi gras You led me to a mountaintop So I could see it all Your salty kiss, you promised this That I could have you all And now with you here by my side I will never fall So show me where it hurts I'll kiss it so it don't get any worse A ticker tape parade, the traffic barricades Waiting on a long motorcade I will be the car and all the bodyguards I will be the silence in your eyes I will be your aid, I will serenade I will be your motorcade An effigy of Maximon I've come to make my wish A hole was drilled where his mouth was filled with wine and cigarettes A muggy night, a fire bright and a reggae band plays "Israelites" You on my arm Your addictive charms You're like h**n to me tonight The driver veers, grinds the gears The sky is dripping red You scratch your last minute vows in an old cigar box lid Night falls, the engine stalls in this Guatemala chicken bus They took it all, my watch our rings, but they were simply things to us
