Fabled City letra

Me and Javier shouted slogan in Spanish
Like it was our world to win
Then they moved the plant down Ojada
Time to bite you tongue again

I've seen the fabled city
Its streets are paved with gold
But an iron fence runs 'round it
and its iron gate is closed

What ain't right ain't right he told me
But something else passed behind his eyes
Now he's downtown on his knees
washin' floors for somebody
And he's quietly biting his toungue

I've seen the fabled city
Its streets are paved with gold
But an iron fence runs 'round it
and its iron gate is closed

Ha!

At the gas station on sunset and crescent
I met and angel sad and old
She lived in the alley behind the market
in the shadows maybe hidden from the Lord

And for a dollar she sang a song
that sounded more like a prayer
A wish that her dead mother and father
couldn't look down and see her there

I've seen the fabled city
Its streets are paved with gold
But an iron fence runs 'round it
and its iron gate is closed

On the wire outside my window
there sit one hundred swallows
And I suspect that if one flew
then ninety nine would follow
