Mexican Vacation Lyrics

by Dan Bern

(Verse)
Three years before the surface of the earth
Was uninhabitable by human beings
I took a train
To New York city through black waves of Ohio
And our pants of vailing hills of acid rain
In those days folks were digging on
Digging through the limestone
And the cold granit and magnesium
For the tunnels and the caves
Subterranean drilling
For the moles that we eventually became
Slavery was everywhere
It was simply neccesary
Otherwise the planet was a grave
And sure I guess inevitably
It became a status thing
Some people the just had to have a slave
People were still bitter about the four sterilization
Of all but 10% of the population
But in a funny way the pressure and the hunt was off and so
I took my little mexican vacation
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e93168-dan_bern~mexican_vacation_lyrics.html ]
(Verse)
Underneath my seat was a floatation device
In case the train could not avoid the flood
60 trains at summer and already gotten stuck with it
Where the Atlantic meets the Indian armada
One half of the people on the train were policemen
As men dated by the senate of the world
But still I somehow met
Got to know on the other train
With a runaway slavery girl

(Chorus)
Ohh shalala
Shake it shake it
Runaway slavery girl
Shalala
Shake your behind
And run away slavery girl

(Verse)
Everyone already long forgoten about
Football and baseball and basketball and brice
The airforce was shut, and the cars have gone to rust
And the hemispheres had both sunk twice
The sky was purple as they hit the ground running
Our will strum of our love was made of orders
And all we really wanted to do was make it to the
Mexico Canadian border
We rivaled through the hills
Pocahontas bubble bells
Sometimes I find some work carbon dated
And with nothing but a rug
And our shirts are back
By a logicaly useless mating
But she rallied at my dinner's serve
But she finally got on the nerves
And with not much time left
Above ground in this world
Sometimes you got to look after youself
Yeah I won't come out of Philadelphia
Turn in my runaway slavery girl

(Bridge)
Sometimes it's hot
Sometimes it's cold
Sometimes it's anybody's guess
Sometimes you do what you have to
As well as my own some times I get

(Verse)
And now we're all underground
I sometimes wonder if she found her way or not
Or is she still a slave
But still in all there's worse you know
Anyway it wasn't personal
Just something 'bout those West Virginia waves
Three years and made them more like two and a half
Before the earth the uninhabitable I jumped aboard a train
To New York city through black of Old Wisconsin
And our pants of vailing hills of acid rain
The folks are still a drifting through the preparatory chemicals
And minister through out spreaded nation
And so I settle back and as of then I shut my eyes
From my final little mexican vacation

(Chorus)
Ohh shalala
Shake it shake it
Run away slavery girl
Shalala
Shake your behind
And run away slavery girl
Ohh shalala
Shake it shake it
Run away slavery girl
Shalala
Shake your behind
And run away slavery girl
