Calexico


Dying of thirst
Could i still be alive or worse 
Where was i last
Parked on the street when a shadow was cast 
Taking me out, when a struggle ensued 
What was that hole in my shirt
And the blood that spilled to the floor 
Like a dead man's 

The focus is blurred
And the voice off camera is heard 
And the lighting's to blame
Tell the assistant director the same 
Pulling away to a final dissolve 
Soundtrack provides a lush bed of strings 
Before the screen fades to black 
And the credits rise above
Like the soul of a dead man 
Wandering on 
Like a dead man 
Wandering on
