mexico is history

1
my job had me down
really quite frightening
some dudes i know
had an idea of heightening
little did i know
i’d get struck by lightning

travel is the cure
for an exhausted soul
revitalization of mind
was the ultimate goal
what happened in the tropics
was i got on a roll

chorus a
and so mexico is history
although my stomach says
it’s not been that long
since we were there
and everything
was just a dream

chorus icing
and now mexico is history
yes mexico is history
mexico is history
mexico is his-stor-ry

business was slipping
for a battery of reasons
some people weren’t paying
and it was the slow season
just too much battle
for a guy who’s now geezing

had to get away
to someplace i’ve never been
seems thierry knew a place
that i’d never seen
now i want to tell you
i’m no longer green

(repeat) chorus a

chorus b
and so mexico
is history
but the memories i have
will never die
of all the places
and all the people
who got to see me

(repeat) chorus icing

3
i was so tired
but i didn’t want to quit
needed some rest
taken so many hits
then i go down there
with a small bag and big wit

scott went too
but we didn’t talk shop
fished swam drove drank ate laughed
the fun just wouldn’t stop
bob and bruno were scared of us
so we got high but didn’t cop

(repeat) chorus a

(repeat) chorus b

(repeat) chorus icing

chorus c
and so mexico
is history
let alan’s photos
develop
a certain aura
of invincibility
that i had when i was there
with ed-die
