lyrics

The Village

The village is small
The village is a mountain
The village has a stage
The village has curtains
The village is a writer
The village is a director
The village is a play
A place of born actors

Look at Ignacio
Who lives in the old house
On main street
The only street in the village

His mother was a whore
Who fled the big city in the west
With child and trunk
With little money

A long trail of dust
A long trail, so long
To the place where you are born

Santa Maria
The name of the church
Build by pilgrims from old times
Build to last

The priest is a gloomy man
He reads by candlelight
Comes out at night
In black robe and rope

The oldest female in town
Is known as the Devil's Own
Four husbands outlived
She was born the butcher's daughter

Her name is Marianne
Living where she’s always lived
She must be a hundred years
But no one knows the facts

A long trail of dust
A long trail, so long
To the place where you are born


The village is not connected
To the world wide web
The world wide trap
And there’s one telephone

The phone’s at the priests house
In case of emergency he can call
The bishop, the pope, the Vatican
God (if he answers at all....)
