The  volunteers come for your prayers
 and some souvenirs,
 With ivory skin  and boycott lessons
 Year after year.
Well  I'm tracing your face up in the space
 of the bottom bunk,
 Oh Cordova.
Where  I cried and I cried,
 I knew I was trading  on things that I didn't have,
 The things that I didn't have.
Now  you come to me
 With revolution's,  infidelity,
 With blacklisted friends  and tupperware kin,
 And your big history.
 Well I'm tracing your face  up in the space
 of the bottom bunk,
 Oh Cordova.
Where  I cried and I cried,
 I knew I was trading  on things that I didn't have,
 The things that I didn't have.
I  memorize the lullabies
 of dwindling lives.
 The lay of the land,  the touch of each hand
 We lose by and by.
 I'm tracing your face  up in the space  of the bottom  bunk,
 Oh Cordova.
 Where I cried  and I cried,
 I knew I was trading  on things that I didn't have,
 The things that I didn't have.
