Lyrics

Ooh
Lock all exit doors
Now I wanna be your dog
Tape winding up
Hot tide, rattling off
Say goodbye to the friends you brought
Run with us
Oh, where I walk now, where I walk now
When I talk now, when I talk now
Oh, where I walk now, where I walk now
When I talk, when I talk
Flashlights go out
Stars will light the way
Like mexican dogs
Nobody gave us names
Tires burn in the dark
Mary's beads and the burning heart
Falling apart
High tide kicking sand
High tide we don't race to wind
To taste the salt
Coca-cola cost a quarter
On my block, on my block
Coca-cola cost a quarter
On my block, on my block
Flashlights go out
The stars will light the way
Like mexican dogs
Nobody gave us names
Flash lights go out
The stars will light the way
Like mexican dogs
Nobody gave us names
We will chase the bright lights till we're done
We'll chase the bright lights
We will chase the bright lights till we're done
We'll chase the bright lights
When I taste the salt
When I taste the salt
And I taste the salt
And I taste the salt
Mexican dogs
