Lyrics: Tragically Hip. Yawning Or Snarling.

One day in El Paso
The cops go into the crowd
Under a glaring bladder of light
And the music is so loud

And the tourists take their T-shirts off
Bus load of kids gives you the finger
Afternoon when the sidewalk's hot
And the shadow's to chilly to linger

Walk past damaged goods and ugly trends
Past a straw man making a purchase
Downtown where the river bends
They're just waiting for you to resurface

Take a look at this photograph
Clearly his teeth were bared
He could'a been yawning or snarling
The story was never clear

One night in El Paso
The cops go into the crowd
Under a throbbing bladder of light
And the music is just so loud

And the tourists turn their T.V.'s off
And a bat sees a bug with the sound of a linger
Night time when the shadows cough
And you're chilled to the tips of your fingers

Walk past damaged goods and ugly trends
Past ol' straw man making a purchase
Downtown where the river bends
They're just waiting for you to resurface

Take a look at this photograph
Clearly his teeth were bared
He could'a been yawning or snarling
This could'a been anywhere

Take a look at this photograph
Clearly his teeth were bared
He could'a been yawning or snarling
The story was never clear
