Calexico Quattro (world Drifts In) Lyrics

Quattro (world Drifts In) Lyrics

love the run but not the race
all alone in a silent way
world drifts in
and the world's a stranger

in a light, eclipsed and alienated
in a
time, occupied and invaded
can't tell what's right, better hit the ground
running

in the hills where the tall weed grows
hands are tied and
won't let go
can't escape this place without leaving the world
behind

in a light, ashamed and humiliated
in a time, sacrificed for
the sake of trade
the soul is bent, feels the weight of truth
falling
through
left behind, no choice but to run to the mountains
where no
poppies grow, you have to hit the ground running

in a light, paralyzed
and spirits fading
out of time, must decide to fall or run
into the eye,
of the storm no sign or omen
make it right, or fall to the other
side
where fields are burning
from the day you're born
you'll always
hit the ground running
