Mexico City Lyrics - Living & The Dead - Jolie Holland

Jack and Edie lying across my bed 

Flying high like the spirits of the dead 

The living and the dead, the living and the dead 

Our Lady of Sorrows and the long dark night 

How many candles could I light 

For the living and the dead, the living and the dead? 

What's that black smoke rising Jack, is the world on fire? 

What's that distant singing, is it a heavenly choir? 

Of the living and the dead, the living and the dead

I think about you Jack watching the TV 

And drinking booze, shame on you, shame on me 

But how can we help it there was no where else to go 

I sent Julie and Billy out on that long hard road 

On that long hard road, on that long hard road 

I'm just back from Mexico city 

I came back north to Texas to rest my weary head 

My true love is fresh from the battle field 

Sewing up the dying and carting off the dead 

My baby don't stand no fighting amongst the living or the dead
