Son un grupo norteamericano originario de Tucson, Arizona, amantes de los sonidos del mundo. Sus dos líderes, Joey Burns (voz y guitarra) y John Convertino (batería) comenzaron a tocar juntos en la banda angelina Giant Sand antes de fundar Calexico.

[Verse]
G
Through the gardens and fields ‘neath the tall green grass
G/F# Em
You were walking ‘neath the moon while covering your tracks
C G
Working your fingers down to the skin and stone
[Chorus]
Em B7 C G
One hand on the hammer, one foot by the door
Em B7 C G D
Pushed by the wind, fed by the need for moving on,
C G
Moving on to nowhere
[Verse]
G
When division runs deep and down into the well
Em
All the coins you dove after lost all their spell
C G
Covered in moss walking for silver and blood
[Chorus]
Em B7 C G
Out in the cafe, working in the grove
Em B7 C G
Guarding the port of the future you sold
D C G
Holding on, holding on to no one
D C G
Holding on, holding on to no one
[Chorus]
Em B7 C G
One eye in the mirror, the other on the screen
Em B7 C G
Sewn in the pockets and down into the dream
Em B7 C G
Caught up in the mortar, bricks and heavy load
Em B7 C G
Wait in the shadows down the living road
D C G
Moving on, moving on to no one
D C G
Holding on, holding on to no one

Em Am
There's a piano playing on the ocean floor
G C Bm7
between Havana and New Orleans
Em Am
Drummin' a requiem for the dead
G C Bm7
and the souls hanging on every poet's prayer
Am G Bm7 Em
Running to the rock, running to the sea
Am G Bm7 Em
Prayin' to the Lord , please shelter me
Am G Bm7 Em
But the ground keeps shaking,
Am G Bm7 Em
water is boiling on fire
Am G Bm7 Em
Blood pulsing through their veins
Am G Bm7 Em
like the waves crashing on the Malecón wall
[Verse]
Em Am
Clocks stopping at twelve
G C Bm7
on the eve of a forgotten war
Em Am
Luis drivin' a '59
G C Bm7
making it half way across the Gulf
Am G Bm7 Em
Stranded on the rock, stranded on the sea
Am G Bm7 Em
There's a wall in the ocean between you and me
Am G Bm7 Em
Dreams of reaching dry land,
Am G Bm7 Em
talking to the fortune teller
Am G Bm7 Em
Prisoners pounding the jail
Am G Bm7 Em
like the waves crashing on the Malecón wall
[Bridge]
Em
Someone lost an eye,
Em
someone lost the truth
Em
Trying to save face,
Em
oh 'neath the eyes of the Virgin el Cobre
Em
Shout me a line sister, shout me a line sister
Em
Oh I see your hands in the air, see you drowning on the other side side
[Intro Riff] x2
[Verse]
Em Am
"Chief's in the parish and the drummers in the square
Em Am
Walkin' across the fire, walkin' across the waves"
Am G Bm7 Em
Sinner in the rock, sinner in the sea
Am G Bm7 Em
There's a sunken bridge 'tween you and me
Am G Bm7 Em
Running past the embassy gates,
Am G Bm7 Em
and the Santería shrine
Am G Bm7 Em
Blood pulsing thru their veins
Am G Bm7
like the waves they remember
Bm7 Em
Crashing on the Malecón wall

Pre-Verse
Dm Am E
Brought them gold from the country to help cure their illness

Verse 2
Am E
Rigo working one, two, three different jobs

And when he comes back home he welds into the night

She's talking on the phone in the heart of town

To her Bachata Mama in the heart of the world

Amo ver la Luna vacilando en el puerto

No one fortelling the depth and type of destruction

Nor the sadness trapped on the tongue of Malinche
Dm Am E
Quetzalcoatl feathers strewn out over the altar
Dm Am E
Blood running down the pyramid steps in the morning
Dm Am E
Codices lost to a language that's been broken
Dm Am E E7
There's this growing sense of impending anger that never disappears

The winter is cold
But not as cold as a hand
Covering your heart
The moon is dead
Like the light in your eyes
Fading and gone
Cast out over the hills
Wandering forest and field
Still no resolve when sorrow calls
And silently takes you from here
April showers
Held up inside
For weeks on end
The moon is empty
Memories have all
Passed you on by
Medicine is slowly running out
Your breath is shallow and frail
The doctor arrives
Closes your eyes
Places two pennies in their place

Dig my hands into the dirt
Ghost of a riverbed
Find a timepiece from
The water commissioner
In a whole town washed up and dead
Climbing in a crawlspace
Climb to survive
Climbing into our vehicles
Through the tunnel to the other side
I remember when we'd stand
With our feet at the river's edge
Wondering where the current
Would take us if we leapt
I remember when we'd stand
With our feet at the water's edge
Wondering where the current
Would take us if we leapt
Now I can't stop thinking
About how she used to smile
Standing by that tree
Near the ghost of the river
And where we said our last goodbye
Our last goodbye
Our last goodbye

D C G
[Verse]
G
Through the gardens and fields ‘neath the tall green grass
G/F# Em
You were walking ‘neath the moon while covering your tracks
C G
Working your fingers down to the skin and stone
[Chorus]
Em B7 C G
One hand on the hammer, one foot by the door
Em B7 C G D
Pushed by the wind, fed by the need for moving on,
C G
Moving on to nowhere
[Verse]
G
When division runs deep and down into the well
Em
All the coins you dove after lost all their spell
C G
Covered in moss walking for silver and blood
[Chorus]
Em B7 C G
Out in the cafe, working in the grove
Em B7 C G
Guarding the port of the future you sold
D C G
Holding on, holding on to no one
D C G
Holding on, holding on to no one
[Chorus]
Em B7 C G
One eye in the mirror, the other on the screen
Em B7 C G
Sewn in the pockets and down into the dream
Em B7 C G
Caught up in the mortar, bricks and heavy load
Em B7 C G
Wait in the shadows down the living road
D C G
Moving on, moving on to no one
D C G
Holding on, holding on to no one

Em Am
There's a piano playing on the ocean floor
G C Bm7
between Havana and New Orleans
Em Am
Drummin' a requiem for the dead
G C Bm7
and the souls hanging on every poet's prayer
Am G Bm7 Em
Running to the rock, running to the sea
Am G Bm7 Em
Prayin' to the Lord , please shelter me
Am G Bm7 Em
But the ground keeps shaking,
Am G Bm7 Em
water is boiling on fire
Am G Bm7 Em
Blood pulsing through their veins
Am G Bm7 Em
like the waves crashing on the Malecón wall
[Verse]
Em Am
Clocks stopping at twelve
G C Bm7
on the eve of a forgotten war
Em Am
Luis drivin' a '59
G C Bm7
making it half way across the Gulf
Am G Bm7 Em
Stranded on the rock, stranded on the sea
Am G Bm7 Em
There's a wall in the ocean between you and me
Am G Bm7 Em
Dreams of reaching dry land,
Am G Bm7 Em
talking to the fortune teller
Am G Bm7 Em
Prisoners pounding the jail
Am G Bm7 Em
like the waves crashing on the Malecón wall
[Bridge]
Em
Someone lost an eye,
Em
someone lost the truth
Em
Trying to save face,
Em
oh 'neath the eyes of the Virgin el Cobre
Em
Shout me a line sister, shout me a line sister
Em
Oh I see your hands in the air, see you drowning on the other side side
[Intro Riff] x2
[Verse]
Em Am
"Chief's in the parish and the drummers in the square
Em Am
Walkin' across the fire, walkin' across the waves"
Am G Bm7 Em
Sinner in the rock, sinner in the sea
Am G Bm7 Em
There's a sunken bridge 'tween you and me
Am G Bm7 Em
Running past the embassy gates,
Am G Bm7 Em
and the Santería shrine
Am G Bm7 Em
Blood pulsing thru their veins
Am G Bm7
like the waves they remember
Bm7 Em
Crashing on the Malecón wall

Verse 1

Lupita's 'gonna weave a path to the land up north

Looking at the lights dancing in the sky

Hoping for a fallen star
Spanish part
Am E
Me consuelo viendo estrellas bailando en el puerto
Pre-Verse
Dm Am E
Brought them gold from the country to help cure their illness
Dm Am E
But they landed with only one purpose for conquest
Dm Am E E7
Though there's still this wave of unsettling hunger that never disappears
Am-E-Am-E (like Intro)
Verse 2
Am E
Rigo working one, two, three different jobs
Am E
And when he comes back home he welds into the night
Am E
Builds an air balloon for his pickup truck
Am E
'Gonna fly up and over the wall

If everything stays exactly the same
Am/F E
Then nothing can move and nothing can change

Am E
Me siento ese p?jaro que danza sobre el puerto

Dm Am E
Carried ships from the sea up over the mountains

The warriors fell to their knees by the invisible virus

Verse 3
Am E
She's talking on the phone in the heart of town

To her Bachata Mama in the heart of the world

Why you gotta be so far away"

Amo ver la Luna vacilando en el puerto

No one fortelling the depth and type of destruction
Dm Am E
Nor the sadness trapped on the tongue of Malinche
Dm Am E
Quetzalcoatl feathers strewn out over the altar
Dm Am E
Blood running down the pyramid steps in the morning
Dm Am E
Codices lost to a language that's been broken
Dm Am E E7
There's this growing sense of impending anger that never disappears

Spanish part

Ninguna entrada , queda en el puerto

The winter is cold
But not as cold as a hand
Covering your heart
The moon is dead
Like the light in your eyes
Fading and gone
Cast out over the hills
Wandering forest and field
Still no resolve when sorrow calls
And silently takes you from here
April showers
Held up inside
For weeks on end
The moon is empty
Memories have all
Passed you on by
Medicine is slowly running out
Your breath is shallow and frail
The doctor arrives
Closes your eyes
Places two pennies in their place

Dig my hands into the dirt
Ghost of a riverbed
Find a timepiece from
The water commissioner
In a whole town washed up and dead
Climbing in a crawlspace
Climb to survive
Climbing into our vehicles
Through the tunnel to the other side
I remember when we'd stand
With our feet at the river's edge
Wondering where the current
Would take us if we leapt
I remember when we'd stand
With our feet at the water's edge
Wondering where the current
Would take us if we leapt
Now I can't stop thinking
About how she used to smile
Standing by that tree
Near the ghost of the river
And where we said our last goodbye
Our last goodbye
Our last goodbye
