El norte

It´s a million miles
A giant place
Like a work of art
Amazing, amazing
Fast cars that cannot move
Die for a parking space
Stuck on a carousel
Crazy, it´s crazy
When you laugh
Till you cry
When you laugh
(Chorus)
All´s well here in El Norte
Who´d have thought it could be like this
Big money for a job well done
I swear to you
I got a ride from a coyote
Who sells high on the black market
So your loved one can be home soon
So your loved one can be home soon
Fine women with dress-up clothes
Say and do anything
Wake up to work the day
Tousled and tangled
Rub shoulders with the downtown gang
Where the Virgin lives
Just like a movie star
Hopeful and graceful
When she smiles
Till you laugh
Till you cry
(Repeat Chorus)
Maybe I don´t understand it
Maybe I won´t try
But nobody seems too satisfied
(Repeat Chorus)
