"Mexican Women"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

Leave home
Blood becomes a foreign substance
And see it as you let it dry
I forgive my nature or I'll be my saint
I can always feel you in heaven
Living in the past
I think if I remember that I'll forget this
I know you will
Kill the sky, the sun will fry us
Burn the rain, we'll die
Stares from the back stairs
I tie your tie, set tables
I won't run your party
You can't run my life
But the waters run deep...
Once there was two Mexican women
Ran over the hill,
Ripped off their skin and ate it up
Leave the town for the children
(Lay their skin across the fire)
Leave their rings to their daughters and fly up
It's raining again, come home
It's raining in his hands
Oh, catch it, be brave
Grow, you'll make me cry, understand?
Be safe
No worry, so
Look what you do, you freeze my songs and please
Come on, catch me back
I can go faster than fast
Catch me, go give back a day
Land a seal too fast
Catch me, go give back a day
Spin the wheel too fast
Help me go give back a day
Live a day the past
