Song language: English
Mexico City |
| Jack and Edie lying across my bed |
| Flying high like the spirits of the dead |
| The living and the dead, the living and the dead |
| Our Lady of Sorrows and the long dark night |
| How many candles could I light for the living and the dead? |
| The living and the dead |
| What’s that black smoke rising Jack? |
| Is the world on fire? |
| What’s that distant singing? |
| Is it a heavenly choir of the living and the dead? |
| The living and the dead |
| I think about you, Jack, watching the TV |
| And drinking booze, shame on you, shame on me |
| But how can we help it? |
| There was nowhere else to go |
| I sent Julie and Billy out on that long dark road |
| On that long dark road, on that long dark road |
| I’m just back from Mexico city |
| I came back north to Texas to rest my weary head |
| My true love is fresh from the battlefield |
| Sewing up the dying and carting off the dead |
| My baby don’t stand no fighting amongst the living or the dead |
| What’s that black smoke rising Jack? |
| Is the world on fire? |
| What’s that distant singing? |
| Is it a heavenly choir of the living and the dead? |
| The living and the dead |
| The living and the dead |
| The living and the dead |
| The living and the dead |
| The living and the dead |
