shoulda

 Shoulda 

told one or the other I would slit the throat of the last unicorn for a taste.

Shoulda

asked one or the other to prom

Shoulda

carved one of their names on my skin with a rusty spoon.

Shoulda

left one of them barefoot and pregnant 

and 

the other with a child sucken 

at the teat

waiting on me to come back 

cuz I've gone out for a pack of 

smokes....

But their angels on their shoulders are better at their jobs

than the

devil on mine.

Shoulda 

said the things that your mom told you liars and charlatans 

practice in the mirror.

Shoulda done the things that make fathers sharpen their blades, 

and forget their good books.

Shoulda..

Coulda...

Woulda...

in the next life.

In the next life.

Por una morena de dulce mirar,
Luna de Xelajú,

Broken hearted he left

town for the big city.

There 

he met his wife 

soon after.

The other would return too late.

The locals call it Xela 

I call the place where the moon

give lovers a hope

in a place where its hard to come by

En mis noches de amor

Hoy consuela mi pena

Por una morena que me abandono
