Lyrics[]

Looks like rain passed by again this year
Looks like the sky as far as the naked eye can see is completely clear
But the hairless chihuahua who found this place yesterday
Me and him, we will stick around anyway

Looks like you're gone for good
Looks like the steps leading up to the front porch are stained with blood
We stared up into the Mexican sky as though we were searching for gold
And it's vast and inscrutable and cold

Shame shame shame shame on you
Shame shame shame shame on you
Shame on you
Shame shame shame shame on you

Comments by John Darnielle About this Song[]

  • "It was by a band that only existed for one show, called the Seneca Twins. It was me, my then-girlfriend, now my wife and the mother of my children, and Chris Butler, from the New Rob Robbies, a band who is badly underrated and whose album Pure Whore you should seek out and buy." -- 2017-06-02 - The Fillmore - San Francisco, CA
