Lyrics

Mexican Radio

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder

And the touch of a world that is older

Turn the switch and check the number

Leave it on when in bed I slumber

I hear the rhythms of the music

I buy the product and never use it

I hear the talking of the DJ

Can't understand just what does he say?

CHORUS

I'm on a Mexican radio

I'm on a Mexican radio

I dial it and tune the station

They talk about the U.S. inflation

I understand just a little

No comprende-it's a riddle

CHORUS

I wish I was in Tijuana

Eating barbecued iguana

I'd take requests on the telephone

I'm on a wavelength far from home

I feel a hot wind on my shoulder

I dial it in from south of the border

I hear the talking of the DJ

Can't understand just what does he say?

CHORUS
