Along the Way - DeVotchKa

As the gringos block the roads

Inside your head

Are you sleeping it off

When you’re not in your bed?

And you pray in the darkness

Let me walk in your light

Let me die in my lover’s arms

Let me live through this night

You are watching over

My three brave soldiers

I have not forgotten

I will send you something

So this is the city

So this is progress?

How could something so pretty

Become such a mess?

And there’s no more than this steal and stone

There’s more than this flesh and bone

There is a little piece of land in me

No other man can own

Who is watching over

My three brave soldiers?

I have not forgotten

I will send you something

Well shut my mouth, I have nothing to say

'Cept, what is this life with no love along the way?

You know that I’m good for it, you know I can pay

And we don’t have to look for it, it’s right here

It’s today
