Color in Your Cheeks - The Mountain Goats[00:00:00]
She came in on the red eye to Dallas-Ft Worth[00:00:03]
All the way from sunny Taipei[00:00:08]
Skin the color of a walnut shell[00:00:13]
And a baseball cap holding down her black hair[00:00:17]
And she came here after midnight[00:00:21]
The hot weather made her feel right at home[00:00:27]
Come on in we haven't slept for weeks[00:00:31]
Drink some of this it'll put color in your cheeks[00:00:35]
He drove in from Mexicali no worse for wear[00:00:41]
Money to burn time to kill[00:00:46]
But five minutes looking in his eyes and we all knew[00:00:50]
He was broken pretty bad so we gave him what we had[00:00:56]
We cleared a space for him to sleep in[00:01:00]
And we let the silence that's our trademark make its presence felt[00:01:02]
Come on in we haven't slept for weeks[00:01:08]
Drink some of this it'll put color in your cheeks[00:01:13]
They came in by the dozens walking or crawling[00:01:28]
Some were bright-eyed some were dead on their feet[00:01:33]
And they came from Zimbabwe or from Soviet Georgia[00:01:37]
East St Louis or from Paris or they lived across the street[00:01:42]
But they came and when they finally made it here[00:01:47]
It was the least we could do to make our welcome clear[00:01:50]
Come on in we haven't slept for weeks[00:01:55]
Drink some of this it'll put color in your cheeks[00:01:59]
