It's a million miles
a giant place
like a work of art
amazing, amazing
Fast cars that cannot move
die for a parking space
stuck on a carousel
crazy, it's crazy
When you laugh
till you cry
when you laugh
(chorus)
all's well here in el norte
who'd have thought it could be like this
big money for a job well done
i swear to you
i got a ride from a coyote
who sells high on the black market
So your loved one can be home soon
so your loved one can be home soon
Fine women with dress-up clothes
say and do anything
wake up to work the day
tousled and tangled
Rub shoulders with the downtown gang
where the virgin lives
just like a movie star
hopeful and graceful
When she smiles
till you laugh
till you cry
(repeat chorus)
Maybe i don't understand it
maybe i won't try
but nobody seems too satisfied
(repeat chorus)
