C#mAbAB
She came in on the red-eye to Dallas-Fort Worth.
EAbAB
All the way from sunny Taipei.
C#mAbAB
Skin the color of a walnut shell,
EAbAB
And a baseball cap holding down her black hair.
AB
And she came here after midnight.
EA
The hot weather made her feel right at home.
EA
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks.
EAB
Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks.
C#mAbAB
He drove in from Mexicali no worse for wear.
EAbAB
Money to burn, time to kill, but
C#mAbAB
Five minutes looking in his eyes and
EAbABA
We all knew he was broken pretty bad, so we gave him what we had.
B
We cleared a space for him to sleep in,
E
And we let the silence that's our trademark
A
Make its presence felt.
EA
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks.
EAB
Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks.
CAABEBC#mAbABE
They came in by the dozens, walking or crawling.
AbA
Some were bright-eyed,
B
Some were dead on their feet.
EAbABE
And they came from Zimbabwe, Or from Soviet Georgia,
AbABA
East Saint Louis, or from Paris, or they lived across the street.
B
But they came, and when they'd finally made it here,
EA

EA
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks.
EAB
Drink some of this, this'll put color in your cheeks.
