"El Paso" lyrics
"El Paso"
El Paso on the late-night line
Rolling dice and killing time
Desert hills dark as the city lights shine
Mary at the window, crying love is blind
Love is blind
Jupiter frozen on a laptop screen
You said you never could say what you mean
Arms tattooed like a magazine
Telling the world all the angels you've seen
All the angels you've seen
And we're fighting (And we're fighting)
And we're finding (And we're finding)
And we're fighting (And we're fighting)
And we're finding (And we're finding)
On the other side of the Rio Grande
Your daddy used to sing in your uncle's band
Mmm, you used to dance in the dust and sand
First with your mama, then a gun in your hand
Fighting for a border that's hard to understand
And harder to find than the truth in this land
Love is blind, my love is blind
Crying love is blind
Oh Mary at the window
My love is blind
Crying love is blind

And a man come on to tell me

Sparklehorse - "Wish You Were Here" So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell? Blue skies from rain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Wilco - "Jesus, Etc." Jesus, don't cry
You can rely on me, honey
You can combine anything you want
I'll be around
You were right about the stars
Each one is a setting sun
Tall buildings shake
Voices escape singing sad...
Tom Waits - "Alice" It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond
With a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice...
