Clearly his teeth were bared
This could'a been anywhere
The cops go into the crowd
The story was never clear
He could'a been yawning or snarling
One night in El Paso
Under a glaring bladder of light
Past a straw man making a purchase
Walk past damaged goods and ugly trends
Downtown where the river bends
And you're chilled to the tips of your fingers
Bus load of kids gives you the finger
And the tourists take their T-shirts off
And the music is just so loud
Take a look at this photograph
Afternoon when the sidewalk's hot
Walk past damaged goods and ugly trends
Past ol' straw man making a purchase
Clearly his teeth were bared
And the music is so loud
And the tourists turn their T.V.'s off
Under a throbbing bladder of light
Clearly his teeth were bared
And a bat sees a bug with the sound of a linger
He could'a been yawning or snarling
They're just waiting for you to resurface
Take a look at this photograph
And the shadow's to chilly to linger
They're just waiting for you to resurface
Take a look at this photograph
Downtown where the river bends
Night time when the shadows cough
He could'a been yawning or snarling
