lyrics

The Oracle in the Aztec shawl was mowed down in the dancehall
For singing songs against the white man sprawl
Now she's dancing in the flowers under it all
The Wasichu in the wool knit pants
Searching for the yellow metal, it's shiny, makes us crazy
The Aztec in the Spanish boots was cut down at the temple
Tempo slows...

Cristobal in the bathroom stall weeping for it all he did he done
Now he's in the discotheque playing pianola
For Hispanola, the cholla grows
I'm a packrat in the hood of your car gonna eat all your wires for dinner
Make you wish you didn't live here

Ignatius in the licking flames eating earth by the mouthful
Tied his robe with his brand new belt that he bought from the Devil
Now he's howling at the neap tide moon
Where'd all his friends go? They gone. Se fue. We're not safe here.

Dear Ramona how'd you get so tall?
Young Dervish spinning circles sonuva gun ms. know-it-all
To the pianola on the portico
Spitting out masterpieces one by one played by ghosts
Of the pagan babies on the Ferris Wheel
Lake bottom choir singing praises to the holy swimming heels
And they were singing
"Nothing's insurmountable. Nothing's unbeatable. Nothing's undoable. Nothing's impossible. All things are possible."
