It's a million miles A giant place Like a work of art Amazing, amazing Fast cars that cannot move Die for a parking space Stuck on a carousel Crazy, it's crazy When you laugh Till you cry When you laugh Chorus: All's well here in El Norte Who'd have thought it could be like this Big money for a job well done I swear to you I got a ride from a coyote Who sells high on the black market So your loved one can be home soon So your loved one can be home soon Fine women with dress-up clothes Say and do anything Wake up to work the day Tousled and tangled Rub shoulders with the downtown gang Where the Virgin lives Just like a movie star Hopeful and graceful When she smiles Till you laugh Till you cry (Repeat Chorus) Maybe I don't understand it Maybe I won't try But nobody seems too satisfied (Repeat Chorus)
