Lyrics to Lovesick Town...
Four Legs Good
Mariachi Song
one
eyed man cranks music through the streets
his wife shakes change that's given for relief
passers by are giving alms instead of eyes
they're out there entertaining for their lives
this
is the way it's always been
when she sleeps he takes on her dreams
in a sightless world the one eyed man is king
the next generation lost in space
until they find their busking place
his father was a famed mariachi
when father gave mother a wedding ring
mother gave his kids the chance to sing
when
he gets tired his wife takes over
smaller arms crank the same tune a little slower
he'll exchange the change for a midday comida
then he'll take his arms back to his senorita
the
ghosts from the old town always look the same
they wear a mask instead of a name
and though he cannot see the future's face
he know it's coming fast to take his place
you
wake up to the music through the streets
three kids with accordions and their bare feet
it's the family's plan to make it through the year
semana santa blessings in their ears
