Mark Howard - Yawning or Snarling lyrics

One day in El Paso The cops go into the crowd Under a glaring bladder of light And the music is so loud And the tourists take their t-shirts off A busload of kids gives you the finger Afternoon when the sidewalk's hot And the shadow's too chilly to linger Walk past damaged goods and ugly trends Past a straw man making a purchase Down town where the river bends They're just waiting for you to resurface Take a look at this photograph Clearly his teeth were bared He could have been yawning or snarling The story was never clear One night in El Paso The cops go into the crowd Under a throbbing bladder of light And the music is just so loud And the tourists turn their TV's off And a bat sees a bug with the sound of a linger Night time when the shadows cough And you're chilled to the tips of your fingers Walk past damaged goods and ugly trends Past old straw man making a purchase Down town where the river bends They're just waiting for you to resurface Take a look at this photograph Clearly his teeth were bared He could have been yawning or snarling This could have been anywhere Take a look at this photograph Clearly his teeth were bared He could have been yawning or snarling The story was never clear
