《Mexico City》歌词

[00:00:00] Mexico City - Jolie Holland

[00:00:05] Jack and Edie lying across my bed

[00:00:14] Flying high like the spirits of the dead

[00:00:20] The living and the dead the living and the dead

[00:00:30] Our Lady of Sorrows and the long dark night

[00:00:39] How many candles could I light

[00:00:45] For the living and the dead

[00:00:49] The living and the dead

[00:00:54] What's that black smoke rising Jack

[00:00:57] Is the world on fire

[00:01:02] What's that distant singing

[00:01:05] Is it a heavenly choir

[00:01:09] Of the living and the dead

[00:01:13] The living and the dead

[00:01:18] I think about you Jack watching the TV

[00:01:27] And drinking booze

[00:01:29] Shame on you shame on me

[00:01:35] But how can we help it

[00:01:38] There was nowhere else to go

[00:01:43] I sent Julie and Billy out on that long hard road

[00:01:50] On that long hard road on that long hard road

[00:01:59] I'm just back from Mexico City

[00:02:06] I came back north to Texas to rest my weary head

[00:02:14] My true love is fresh from the battle field

[00:02:23] Sewing up the dying and carting off the dead

[00:02:31] My baby doesn't stand for no fighting amongst

[00:02:38] The living or the dead

[00:03:07] What's that black smoke rising Jack

[00:03:10] Is the world on fire

[00:03:15] What's that distant singing is it a heavenly choir

[00:03:22] Of the living and the dead the living and the dead

[00:03:30] The living and dead the living and the dead

[00:03:38] The living and dead the living and the dead
