El Norte - Cock Robin

It’s a million miles

A giant place

Like a work of art

Amazing, amazing

Fast cars that cannot move

Die for a parking space

Stuck on a carousel

Crazy, it’s crazy

When you laugh

Till you cry

When you laugh

All’s well here in El Norte

Who’d have thought it could be like this

Big money for a job well done

I swear to you

I got a ride from a coyote

Who sells high on the black market

So your loved one can be home soon

So your loved one can be home soon

Fine women with dress-up clothes

Say and do anything

Wake up to work the day

Tousled and tangled

Rub shoulders with the downtown gang

Where the Virgin lives

Just like a movie star

Hopeful and graceful

When she smiles

Till you laugh

Till you cry

Maybe I don’t understand it

Maybe I won’t try

But nobody seems too satisfied
