La Catrina

歌詞

La Catrina has come back from the dead And is searching for the love she never had La Catrina has come back from the dead For the time of her life Alive she never had Sometimes she cries And sometimes she laughs On her face she wears impossible expressions And her dress is the dress That the ladies all wore In the days before the old revolution Dance in the spring Dance in the sun, young girl Don't wait till you've become what I've become Don't wait till you're as dead as I am Dance now while you still can Dance in the spring Dance in the sun, young girl Dance naked for a man While you still can It's too late when you're as dead as I am Me and La Catrina are walking arm in arm She's so elegant, so handsome and so dead Me and La Catrina are dancing face to face It's the time of her life A life she never had See how she cries! See how she laughs! On her face she wears impossible expressions And her dress is the dress That the ladies all wore In the days before the old revolution Dance your life Dance your life away La Catrina is dancing in her skeleton La Catrina with her mouldy dress and boots still on On her skull a single strand of hair Between the pelvic bones thin air And then she opens up her thighs And tells me what it's like to die And sings her love song
