Maricopa, AZ

lyrics

In Maricopa, Arizona, Orion hangs so low it seems
I could pull down his belt and hang myself like David Carradine.
The sheriff's got the reputation as the meanest one around.
He comes from Springfield, Massachusetts but he's damn sure local now.
He's got the women all in chain gangs and the Mexicans in tents.
In Maricopa, that's enough to win him fifty-six per cent.
Get down.
We all drink whiskey and tequila in that old corner saloon,
but there ain't enough liquor to get her lips to move.
And when the wind comes whipping 'round, the guilt all flies up with the dust.
The shit in attics and in cupboards and padlocked dirty trunks.
Nobody asks in Maricopa, 'cuz nobody wants to know.
El Chupacabra just retired to the house on down the road.
Get down.
That unmarked van speeds down the highway down on Route 141
but just like Icarus before 'em, they ain't no match for the sun.
And when the chaplain comes to visit with his oil and his cough,
there's no-one left in Maricopa with the cash to pay 'em off.
All the machinery's blown over, the trains are off the tracks,
and Maricopa came from dust. Maricopa's going back,
now get down.
