Lacquer Songtext
von Calexico

She′s looking in her eyes
Searching for that eight ball answer
Painting a new disguise
Silver sparkle gloss with invisible red flames
Lights up her way
Down through city scape
Unaware of the danger she's carrying inside


There′s a secret place only she knows
Silent votive candle hearts glow
Takes a breath to clear her senses
Following her voice as far as it will go
To the end of why
Hanging like an arsoned desire
Sooner or later every layer wears away

The wheel spinning shakes the deal
She tries a reverse way of thinking
Covered only by her see through skin
Letting no thoughts in as far as they will go
Behind those drapes
Death defying escape
Walking away untouched
She makes no mistakes

No bad use of space
The smile in the corner of her face
Is pleasing her and sealing her inside
