Artist/Band: The Mountain Goats
Lyrics for Song: Color In Your Cheeks
Lyrics for Album: All Hail West Texas [2002]



She came in on the red eye to Dallas, Fort Worth

All the way from sunny Taipei

Skin the color of a walnut shell

and a baseball cap holding down her black hair

And she came here after midnight

The hot weather made her feel right at home

Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks

Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks



He drove in from Mexicali, no worse for wear

Money to burn, time to kill

But five minutes looking in his eyes

And we all knew he was broken pretty bad

So we gave him what we had

We cleared a space for him to sleep in

And we let the silence that's our trademark make it's presense felt



Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks

Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks



They came in by the dozens, walking or crawling

Some were bright eyed, some were dead on their feet

And they came from Zimbabwe or from Soviet Georgia,

East St. Louis, or from Paris, or they lived across the street

But they came, and when they finally made it here,

it was the least that we could do to make our welcome clear



Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks

Drink some of this, this'll put color in your cheeks
