as you wander towards the stoplight,
the ghosts' shadows can embrace you
and taste you
as you walk the streets at midnight,
the ghosts' shadows can replace you
as they erase you
down here
where the sun always seems to fall
like your shadow down the hall
as it follows on the wall
and nothing is as it seems
as you're walking down mystery st.
where the lights always seem to go out
with your thoughts as you're nodding out
and behind your eye is a gleam
or maybe it is just a dream
living on mystery st.
XIXA cull from various strains of Latin music, from Chicha (psychedelic cumbia from Peru) to Tejano, infusing their "mystic desert rock" with a distinct sense of brooding. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 17, 2021
