  superheroes, superstars
live so far from where you are
where crazy things fall from the sky
but nothing's shown you how to fly

cruise all night and sleep 'til noon
tortillas, juice, and old man gloom
spread butter on your daddy's bread
turn off the news, go back to bed

drunk on friday, home by 2 am
mass on sunday, bread and wine again
does confession to the mother bring you joy?
new mexico boy

no history you care to claim
no county kickbacks in your name
just a pack of dreams rolled up your sleeve
to make it big you'll have to leave

drunk on friday, home by 2 am
mass on sunday, bread and wine again
does confession to the mother bring you joy?
new mexico boy

airport's running out of planes
you're scared you won't wake up the same
you wonder who's your saint
'cause sure as hell you ain't

cinderblocks like hollow hearts
stacked up in piles along boulevards
a fortress in your own hometown
but this ain't china, walk around
no this ain't china, walk around

drunk on friday, home by 2 am
mass on sunday, bread and wine again
does confession to the mother bring you joy?
new mexico boy
