Mexico Lyrics

My baby loves the talisman and the holy ghost
My baby loves the moonshine and the urgent smoke
She loves bloodied swamps under Cypress groves
But my baby she don't love me no more

My baby loves her addiction and her stolen pearls
Loves her conviction to a frozen world
She loves the drunk alleys and telephones
But my baby she don't love me no more

My baby loves the monkey and the burglar's wine
My baby loves the dungeon and matters of time
She loves blood red roses and December snows
But my baby she don't love me no more

My baby loves the city and the social crutch
My baby loves the cop and his brutal touch
My baby loves my money and Mexico
But my baby she don't love me no more

Cover art for Mexico lyrics by Gill Landry

I just stumbled across this song on Pandora by feeding in Jason Webley and Tom Waits. On the slim chance that you like Gill Landry but haven't listened to the others, I'm just connecting the dots here and leaving a comment so my activity log will bookmark this song.

And the punchline to this film noir portrait... "My baby loves my money and Mexico, but my baby she don't love me no more."
