"Cumbia Peninsula" lyrics
"Cumbia Peninsula"
It's easy to look for an enemy outside yourself
Pass the blame and pin it on somebody else
Wrap your heart in flowers and barbed wire
Love to watch your faith dance on the fire
Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow
Someone changed the locks outside
There's no place to run and hide
They got your number and all your names
When you signed it all away for a great escape
El tiempo que me queda
Es para lo que amo
Los tres lados de mi alma
Se me están resquebrajando
No se merecen mi aliento
Sus mentiras y sus cuentos
Yo sé que tú me escuchas
Yo sé que es nuestro momento
Some are searching their whole lives
Todos quieren encontrar
The letter becomes the subject twisted and torn
Truth is taken out back and beaten to a pulp
Your lips are tainted with toxic lies and worse
Counting on chaos for lifting the curse
Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow
Someone changed the locks outside
There's no place to run and hide
They got your number and all your names
When you signed it all away for a great escape
El tiempo que me queda
Es para lo que amo
Los tres lados de mi alma
Se me están resquebrajando
No se merecen mi aliento
Sus mentiras y sus cuentos
Yo sé que tú me escuchas
Yo sé que es nuestro momento
Some are searching their whole lives
Todos quieren encontrar
Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow
Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow
Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - "Coma Girl" I was crawlin' through a festival way out west
I was thinkin' about love and the acid test
But first I got real dizzy with a real rockin' gang
And then I saw the coma girl on the excitement gang
And...
The Handsome Family - "Weightless Again" We stopped for coffee in the Redwood forest
Giant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream
I wanted to kiss you but I wasn't sure how
Like those indians, lost in the rainforest
Forced to drag...
Conor Oberst - "Cape Canaveral" Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
I saw your legends lined up
And I never felt more natural
Apart, I just came apart
Please, please, please sister Socrates
You always answer with a question

The Decemberists - "Down By The Water" See this ancient riverbed
See where all the follies led
Down by the water and
Down by the old main drag
I was just some tow-head teen
Feeling round for fingers to get in between
Down by the water...
