lyrics

ASHES AND BEER

Come on Lieutenant! Bring the gun.
Draw futility in to those lungs

A tarry substance on the tongue
Viva la revolución

Come in, Padre. Leave the Son.
El Diablo’s a just fine lantern.
bienvenidos everyone
Come in, Padre, your eyes may burn
from ashes and beer
ashes and beer it’s happening

why be glad to be alive
clearly anything can thrive
salted fields agleam at night
killed but still they will survive

yellow nails, muddy teeth
we live here beyond belief
in blood on the door it says
welcome to hell please watch your head

ashes and beer

I saw Jesus Malverde

walking hurt and wounded, man

I was leading the teasing Honduran Hortensia
into the other land

I saw Jesus Malverde
 and I know that he saw me
Ever since that fair day I care almost nothing for anybody

I swear I saw Jesus Malverde

Face down in the Rio Grande
Going doo-wah-diddy-diddy-dum-did you hear
getting soaked in ashes and beer

what’s below the bottom rung
self-contempt as a weapon
what follows the end of days
eternity within a cage
