Me and Javier shouted slogans in Spanish
                         
 Like it was our world to win
                             
Then they move a plant down Ojada
                         
Time to bite your tongue again

Chorus:
                     
I've seen the fabled city
                           
It's streets are paved with gold
                  
But an iron fence round it
             
It's iron gate is closed

What ain't right ain't right he told me
                                    
But something else passed behind his eyes
                                   
No he's downtown on his knees washing floors for somebody
                      
And quietly biding his time

Chorus:
                     
I've seen the fabled city
                           
It's streets are paved with gold
                  
But an iron fence round it
                 
It's iron gate is closed Hey

The gas station on Sunset and Crescent
                      
I met an angel sad and old
                       
She lived in the alley behind the market
                                     
In the shadows may be hidden from the lord
                  
And for a dime she sang a song
                   
Sounded more like a prayer
                     
A wish that  her dead mother and father
                              
Couldn't look down and see her there

Chorus:
                     
I've seen the fabled city
                           
It's streets are paved with gold
                  
But an iron fence round it
                       
It's iron gate is closed

On a wire outside my window
                     
There sit one hundred swallows
                  
And I suspect that if one flew
                      
Then ninety nine would follow
