Oblivion Seekers (The)
The Border
Rosa woke up in the hour before dawnThe bed was empty, her man was goneLeaving nothing behind to showBut just a note that read, yo he vuelto, I've gone back to Mexico A desert empire, from one coast to the next Dunes flow north to claim the rest The eagle circles, but all he sees is sand While far below coyotes watch and smile and wait for him to landJohnny walks out to the pay phone down the hallAnd for the fourth time he tries to callShe'd never leave him, she wouldn't goBut the phone keeps ringing, and she don't answer, she's on the train to Mexico The wind is rising and with it comes the rain Floods roll through the canyons and out across the plain The puma sniffs and climbs for higher ground and twists its head And tries to shake the horsemen on his trail, outriders of the deadThirteen rooms, high up with a viewColor TVs, and a swimming poolMom and dad live easy, they'll be the last to knowThat the kids are long gone, they pawned the jewelry halfway to Mexico Bienvenido, emigrante, to the kingdom of the sun Where the scorpion and the serpent bow down to no one
