Chico

There is a man in Tampico sleeping in a chair
It seems at a hundred years he's been there
He's heard the sound of centuries, seen the heroes fall
Felt the water trickle through his hands

Jesus came to town one day a one-night stand
Found a sinner sleeping in the sqare
Laid his hands upon him, whispered in his ear
Only you can understand what I have to bear

Who will pay the price today for the wheels that turn
Who will hold a candle in the wind
When they come to liberate with guns and big machines
Beating on their drums and tambourines

Jesus came to town one day a one-night stand
Said I won't be back here for a while
Whatever else was whispered will not be revealed
When Chico dies, he leaves behind
Nothing but a smile

In the middle of a mob, it's easy to be brave
First we kill the stranger, then we dance upon his grave

There's an eagle flying in the sun
Flying solitary, a conspiracy of on
