La Paz

I'll ride into town on an old truck from Japan

Across a dead dust desert where the heat rots everything

Through a cold sweat jungle where the leaves whisper the name

Of the first place I'll last, I'm never gonna leave again

When I go to La Paz to die

For a while

I'll scale any slope, I'm a weightless evening breeze

Still as a mountain face up in endless sleep

I'll brave any storm, I'm a ghost boat stowaway

Dance through any door now, I won't need a key

When I go to La Paz to die for a while

To hide where I'm impossible to find

Now your clock's all out of sand, old man, you're through

You poured it out and burned it on a spoon

Now your needle's pointing west, old man, and soon

You'll sink into the ocean like a stone

So goodbye, I'm going to La Paz to die for a while

Impossible to find in time

In time
