| - If You Came to Mexico City (by Alex)
-
- If you came to Mexico City, you would understand me.
- You would understand why I like Juarez Int'l,
- Why I like going to the Six Flags,
- And why I like to taste spicy enchiladas.
-
- If you came to Mexico City, you would understand me.
- You would understand why I like crowded cities,
- But why I hate to travel in the littered Metro,
- And why I dislike getting stuck in the traffic.
-
- If you came to Mexico City, you would understand me.
- You would understand why the city's so crazy,
- Why 20 million people live there,
- And why it looks like a wild zoo at rush hour.
-
- If you came to Mexico City, you would understand me.
- You would understand why the city's so unsafe,
- Why people carry money in their underwear,
- And why it's easier to get accosted than smiled at.
-
- If you came to Mexico City, you would understand me.
- You would understand why I like Liverpool,
- Why I like visiting Bellas Artes,
- And why I like going to the cathedral.
-
- If you came to Mexico City, you would understand me.
- You would understand how the buildings are as tall as trees,
- And why the L.A. tower seems to touch the sky.
- But moreover, you would understand me.
