lyrics

My old man and me went sailing
Upon a lonesome southern sea
Who here knows the name of that dragon
The one that we imagined in that dancing isle of stone

And we found a hidden harbor
When we heard the wind would blow
Throw your line to these très borrachos
Tres borrachos in a boat

Drinking beer beneath the sun
I want to be a Mexican
You’re not too old if you still try
Excuse yourself and kiss the sky
Kiss the sky

Waiting for the moon rise
We need the light, the night is dark
Its so close, close enough for kissing
Tell me what I’m missing, I’ve been gone

I hear the Earth’s been shaking
But I’ve been gone too long to tell
Hold on tight, its a nuclear summer
A day like any other wipes us out

Drinking beer beneath the sun
I want to be a Mexican
You’re not too old if you still try
Excuse yourself and kiss the sky

Tres borrachos in a boat
Do what you can to stay afloat
While the world is melting down
And the mountains turn to sand
Turn to sand
