lyrics

On my first trip to Mexico
I made a stop at a cheap motel
Had drinks with someone else's friends
Didn't know it was near the end
El Dia De Los Muertos
Festival of the dead and damned
All these comrades would soon join them
But for now we have other plans
On my first trip to Mexico

On my first trip to Mexico
I met a woman named Marisol
She slipped in with a whispered tone
And said I could ever go home
We made love by the oceans
We made love by the fires
She sealed this curse with a kiss
Oh please don't let it end like this
On my first trip to Mexico

I left my life it's far behind me back at home
With everything I've ever known
It seems that I've become a victim of destiny
Where do I go now?
Where can I go now?
Is there anywhere for me?

On my first trip to Mexico
I came upon a blind old man
He heard voices from far and near
But the message remained unclear
Then a fear took him by the throat
Reading fortune he began to choke
Shaking hands dealt catastrophe
He saw the end of you and me
On my last trip to Mexico

I left my life it's far behind me back at home
With everything I've ever known
It seems that I've become a victim of destiny
Where do I go now?
Where can I go now?
Is there anywhere for me?

On my first trip to Mexico
I came upon El Diablo
He looked at me in the eyes and said
This is where the story ends
I did not try to fight him
I did not try to run
Life had already vanished
Under the flaming sun
It was my last trip to Mexico
