Barbarisms - Acapulco
текст песни

Watching cop shows
On a stripped mattress
Throwing quarters into a pint glass

I promised I'd come after you
When I was a boy I had no handle
Now I'm pulled like luggage
Through subways and puddles
And they won't stop pulling
Until I bruise the ankles
Of the world

I've shattered the mirrors of Loraine

My granddad had an Acapulco fridge magnet
An ashtray full of seashells and sand
He stayed in the hotel of John Wayne

I've shattered the mirrors of Loraine

When I was a kid I stole a gold watch
Just to feel eyes on me
When I was a kid I swung from birch trees
Just to feel for a time that it could be

There is no such thing
There's no such thing
As making a life of it

I've shattered the mirrors of Loraine

With the grace of a cliff diver
The night plunged into you
With th knowledge of a taxi driver
I know that it takes
Most of us a lot of waiting around

I promised I'd come after you
When I was a boy I had no handle
Now I'm pulled like luggage
Through subways and puddles
And they won't stop pulling
Until I bruise the ankles
Of the world

I asked my granddad what it's like
To have the apple plucked from your eye
What is death like?
He said it's like Acapulco

I asked my granddad what it was like
To have the apple plucked from your eye
Granddad, what is death like?
I bet it's like Acapulco
