Marco's shadow falls on the door to the seven lost cities of gold
Finds a raven's head and a rattler's tail
Dead in his tracks, this godforsaken soul's unwanted here
And his curse lingers for years
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/calexico/crystal+frontier+acoustic+version_20961530.html ]
Well, Amalia's face hides behind the mask
Sweatin' on the TV factory line
And that smile on her face is starting to crack
While welding back the pieces of a shattered heart
That's scattered out here along the crystal frontier
And searchin' for her lost child along the river of tears

Ramon tightens up his leather belt
And slips through a hole in a chain link fence
He can get you anythin' that you want
It might cost you a life, it might cost you the whole price
A freedom here along the crystal frontier
And searchin' for your lost love along the river of tears

Crystal frontier
