Crystal Frontier [original Version] Lyrics - Selections From Road Atlas 1998-2011 - Calexico

Marco's shadow falls on the door 

to the 7 lost cities of gold 

finds a raven's head and rattler's tail 

dead in his tracks, this godforsaken soul's 

unwanted here and his ghost lingers for years 

amalia's face hides behind the mask 

sweating on the tv factory line 

that smile on her face is starting to crack 

while welding back the pieces of shattered heart 

that's scattered out here, with the ghosts of her peers 

searched for her lost love along the river of tears 

at the end of the working week 

when drunken worlds meet 

both sides keeping a close eye 

for a break in the line here... 

on the crystal frontier 

blood spills out on the streets 

and bodies are missing for weeks 

both sides keeping a close eye 

watching the bullets fly here... 

on the crystal frontier 

ramón tightens up his leather belt 

and slips through a hole in the fence 

he can get you anything you want 

might cost you a life, might cost you 

the whole price of freedom here... 

on the crystal frontier 

Marco's shadow falls on the door 

to the 7 lost cities of gold 

finds a raven's head and rattler's tail 

dead in his tracks, this godforsaken soul's 

unwanted here and his ghost lingers for years 

amalia's face hides behind the mask 

sweating on the tv factory line 

that smile on her face is starting to crack 

while welding back the pieces of shattered heart 

that's scattered out here, with the ghosts of her peers 

searched for her lost love along the river of tears 

at the end of the working week 

when drunken worlds meet 

both sides keeping a close eye 

for a break in the line here... 

on the crystal frontier 

blood spills out on the streets 

and bodies are missing for weeks 

both sides keeping a close eye 

watching the bullets fly here... 

on the crystal frontier 

ramón tightens up his leather belt 

and slips through a hole in the fence 

he can get you anything you want 

might cost you a life, might cost you 

the whole price of freedom here... 

on the crystal frontier
