Yawning Or Snarling Lyrics

    One day in El Paso
    The cops go into the crowd
    Under a glaring bladder of light
    And the music is so loud
    And the tourists take their T-Shirts off
    A busload of kids gives you the finger
    Afternoon when the sidewalk's hot
    And the shadows too chilly to linger
    Walk past damaged goods and ugly trends
    Past a strawman making a purchase
    Downtown where the river bends
    They're just waiting for you to resurface
    Take a look at this photograph
    Clearly his teeth were bared
    He coulda been yawning or snarling
    The story was never clear

    One night in El Paso
    The cops go into the crowd
    Under a throbbing bladder of light
    And the music is just so loud
    And the tourists turn their TV's off
    And a bat sees a bug with the sound of a linger
    Night time when the shadows cough
    And you're chilled to the tips of your fingers
    Walk past damaged goods and ugly trends
    Past ol' strawman making a purchase
    Downtown where the river bends
    They're just waiting for you to resurface
    Take a look at this photograph
    Clearly his teeth were bared
    He coulda been yawning or snarling
    He coulda been anywhere
