The Crystal Frontier Songtext
von Calexico

Marco′s shadow falls on the door
To the seven lost cities of gold
Finds a raven's head and a rattler′s tail
Dead in his tracks
This godforsaken soul's unwanted here
And his curse lingers for years


Amalia's face hides behind the mask
Sweatin′ on the TV factory line
And that smile on her face is startin′ to crack
While welding back the pieces of a shattered heart
Scattered out here
Along the crystal frontier

Searching for her lost child
Along the river of tears

Un Moan tightens up his leather belt
And slips through a hole in a chainlink fence
He can get you anything that you want
It might cost you a life
It might cost you the whole price of freedom here
Along the crystal frontier

Searching for your lost love
Along the river of tears

Crystal frontier
