El gatillo lyrics Calexico

El gatillo


Walking south along the river
Never had he found that twist of pleasure
Remembering times when they were younger
Setting the town on fire

And watching as his fellow friends
Fell apart in the wake
Claiming it was all just a mistake
When his finger pulled the trigger

And he shot everyone

It was all just a mistake
When he shot everyone

Nothing will stand in the way
When hunger hasn't eaten for days
Scrounges around where ends meet
Then disappears into the fray

He hopes for a while he can reconcile
But the pain that never dies
The ghosts of his family constantly
Gnawing at his inside

He pulls out a worn out photo
And an old handmade gun
Wishes it was he who was frying
When he set the whole town on fire

He walks off crying
He shot everyone

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 

The lyrics EL GATILLO of CALEXICO is also present in the album Carried to dust (2008)

Biografia

Calexico è un gruppo musicale statunitense di genere Americana e country alternativo, formatosi a Tucson, in Arizona. I due membri principali, Joey Burns e John Convertino, hanno iniziato a suonare insieme a Los Angeles come parte del gruppo Giant Sand. La band ha registrato numerosi album per l'etichetta Quarterstick Records, mentre il loro EP del 2005 *In the Reins*, realizzato in collaborazione con Iron and Wine, ha raggiunto le classifiche Billboard 200. Lo stile musicale di Calexico è influenzato dai suoni tradizionali latinoamericani di mariachi, conjunto, cumbia e Tejano, nonché dalla musica country del sud-ovest degli Stati Uniti, dal jazz degli anni '50-'60 e dal post-rock degli anni '90-'00. Sono stati anche descritti come indie rock. Il nome della band deriva dalla città di Calexico, in California.
