heart of water Illustration

Baja Country
 

This is the hour
This is your moment in the sun
The sweet and sour
Mingle mangle on the tongue

Though the heart is hungry
from time to time again
This is Baja Country
And we are Baja Country men

This is the measure
This is your ticket to the show
And for your pleasure
every loser's lying low

Parlor maids in waiting
Ensenada never fails
Reckless roller skating
as the moon forever pales


Though the heart is hungry
from time to time again
This is Baja Country
And we are Baja Country men


Over the hill and oh so far away
The seven necromancers nod
Mexicali magic takes the breath away
The frozen heart forever flawed

We live forever
That's what we tell ourselves inside
In this endeavor
Beside Prometheus's we're tied


Though the heart is hungry
from time to time again
This is Baja Country
And we are Baja Country men

This is Baja Country
And we are Baja Country men
...
...Containers. remainders, campaigners, gourds
