Chilango Blues

Cry these blues
At nightfall
Between pills, cigarettes
Chilango1 blues
 
Neon skin
Motel smell
Let all the planets explode
Let the whole sky bleed
 
Dear Moon, you can see him2
Tell him I already forgot him
Tell him maybe I'll see him Tuesday
Maybe find an alien who can stand him
 
We better dance these blues
 
It's delightful
Your plastic love
Democracy at home has ended
Now there's a monster living out on the porch
 
Dear Moon, you can see him
Tell him I already forgot him
Tell him maybe I'll see him Tuesday
Maybe find an alien who can stand him
 
We better let the blues go on
 
Dear Moon, you can see him
Tell him I already forgot him
Tell him maybe I'll see him Tuesday
Maybe find an alien who can stand him
 
This blues better die
