In a light, paralyzed and spirits fading Out of time, must decide to fall or run Into the eye, of the storm no sign or omen Make it right, or fall to the other side Where fields are burning
In the hills where the tall weed grows Hands are tied and won't let go Can't escape this place without leaving the world behind In a light, ashamed and humiliated In a time, sacrificed for the sake of trade The soul is bent, feels the weight of truth Falling through Left behind, no choice but to run to the mountains
Where no poppies grow, you have to hit the ground running
ove the run but not the race All alone in a silent way World drifts in and the world's a stranger In a light, eclipsed and alienated In a time, occupied and invaded Can't tell what's right, better hit the ground running
Great band, very authentic fusion, I'm from Mexico and I know a little bit about this traditional sounds, And all I can say is that calexico is one of my favorites all the time

I'm a native tucsonan and i am PROUD to say so for many reasons. big reason is calexico. i have this DVD and it gives me goose bumps everytime i've seen it, and that has been many, many times.
I was at Barbican and this version was one of the top songs. Calexico are still one of the most sincere and adorable music expression around... I've seen them again last thursday in Berlin, and at the end of their encores they went down on stage walking trough the crowd playing an unbelievable version of Crystal Frontieres. This band deserves our best love.
i feel you, man - almost too righteous to be from this world.
i don't really understand the meaning of the words - it's rather like a huge face talking to me, close, in a foreign language and I can "feel" what it's telling me and the the words are "right"
This vid is a favorite on Bishkek

That ain't no Hank Williams Song! This is what 'County-Western" music SHOULD sound like.
