 She came in  on the redeye  to dallas-fort
worth.  All the way  from sunny  taipei.
 Skin the color  of a walnut shell,  And a
baseball  cap  holding down  her black hair.  And she came
here  after midnight.
 The hot weather  made her feel  right at home.  Come on
in,  we haven't  slept for weeks.  Drink some of
this. it'll  put color  in your cheeks.
 He drove from in  from mexicali, no  worse for wear.
 Money to burn,  time to kill.  but
 five minutes looking  in his eyes  and we all
knew  he was broken  pretty bad,  so we gave  him what we
had.  We cleared a space  for him to sleep  in, and we let  the
silence  that's our trademark make  its presence felt.  Come on
in,  we haven't  slept for weeks.  Drink some of
this. it'll  put color  in your cheeks.
 They came in  by the dozens, walking  or crawling.
 Some were bright-eyed.  Some were dead  on their feet.
 And they came in  from zimbabwe,  Or from soviet,
georgia.  East saint louis,  or from paris,  or they lived  across the street.
 But they came,  and when they'd finally  made it here,  It was the
least  that we could do  to make  our welcome clear.  Come on
in,  we haven't  slept for weeks.  Drink some of
this. it'll  put color  in your cheeks.
