Mexican God

Robyn Hitchcock · Jewels for Sophia [1999]

Oooh, wap shoo wadda dap

Oooh, wap shoo wadda dap



Chip-chip-chipper up in the crow's nest

Upside down face but it still saw a lot

Flaking off, breaking off, crumbled and cracking

Time will destroy you like a Mexican god



Dreaming your eyes away, closed to the future

Pray for amnesia to finish you off

This is the evil I wished on so many

Time will destroy you like a Mexican god



Moon in a cup, crushed garlic and babies

Sailors all stagnant and bloating and rough

The horror of you floats so close by my window

At least when I die, your memory will too



Oooh, wap shoo wadda dap

Oooh, wap shoo wadda dap



Cruel, magnificent, roasting your people

I am secure at the end of your rod

Cut out my heart and it flies to the ceiling

Time will destroy you like a Mexican god

Time will destroy you like a Mexican god

Time will destroy you



Oooh, wap shoo wadda dap

Oooh, wap shoo wadda dap

Oooh, wap shoo wadda dap

Oooh, wap shoo wadda dap

Oooh
