stapler: lyrics

really hot in mexico today (live) (go back)

such beauty transpired, am i awake?
such beauty transpired, am i awake?
the taste of garden carrots
the smell of cut grass
i remember standing next to the arbor tree
in the middle of may when life was still free

but it's really hot in mexico today
yeah it's really hot in mexico today

such feelings inspired, this could be a dream
such feelings inspired, this could be a dream
the sight of patti smith
the sound of 'horses'
i remember catching bees in mason jars
excited and nervous and full of scars

but it's really hot in mexico today
yeah it's really hot in mexico today

each year diminishes
fewer cool surprises
what shall we wait on
in our glory years?

such soul provided, you could almost believe
such soul provided, you could almost believe
the touch of softer hands
the thought to love
i remember walking through washington square
music and squirrels and people and ice cream and atmosphere

but it's really hot in mexico today
yeah it's really hot in mexico today
yeah it's stinking stinking hot in mexico today
