lyrics

i saw her on the corner there
alone in her electric chair singing
songs about tepito, songs about life
sink in deep into that bowie
knife and to that pcp
send your prayer right back to me

i saw her on the corner, just couldn't get away
i had to fall down on my knees and pray and pray and pray
to
Santa Muerte
i saw her walking in my sleep now
Santa Muerte
i saw her walking in my dream

i saw her on the altar there, smoke was drifting through
the air, songs about tepito, songs about life
sink in deep into those candy skulls and champurrado
tap the sky with a slight staccato
en tepito todo se vende menos la dignidad

i saw her on the corner, just couldn't get away
i had to fall down on my knees and pray and pray and pray
to
Santa Muerte
i saw her walking in my sleep now
Santa Muerte
i saw her walking in my dream

we picking up the pieces trying to find our life
i was arrested by a soldier with a downtown bowie knife.

i saw her on the corner, just couldn't get away
i had to fall down on my knees and pray and pray and pray
to
Santa Muerte
i saw her walking in my sleep now
Santa Muerte
i saw her walking in my dream
