Mal Blum - San Cristóbal lyrics

I have not been writing that many new songs
How I wish I could stay longer
How I wish I'd never gone, and
You have not been writing me
As often as I wished
And sometimes I think I left you just
To see if I'd be missed, and

I saw my fortune scrawled out
Up against the wall
In a crowded marketplace, in a
Town I can't recall, and
The teller told me that I would
Be young and I would fall
And my new friends all assured me
That it all was surely false
And back at home
You found religion in a dirty crystal ball
In the back of a dollar
Store in that shopping mall, and
I found religion out in San Cristóbal
Now I feel that I've come far
Enough to give you a call, give you a call

I have not been writing as often as I hoped
But there are some things you're good at
And then some you can't control, and
You have not been visiting I
Can't say that I mind
Cause every time you go somewhere
You leave somewhere behind, and

I saw my fortune scrawled out
Up against the wall
In a crowded marketplace whose
Name I cannot recall, and
The teller told me that I would
Be young and I would fall
But, I didn't think he meant so soon
- no, not so soon at all, and back at home
You found religion in a dirty crystal ball
In the back of a dollar
Store in that shopping mall, and
I found religion out in San Cristobal
Now I feel that I've come far
Enough to give you a call
So I'm calling now
But it says I don't got the number right

Your body looks to me a
Way it never has before
And is this what's making you so sad?
And what you did this for?
She said your body looks to me
A way it never has before
And is this what's making you so sad?
And I can't do this anymore, and

I found religion in a dirty bathroom stall
In the back of a liquor
Store in that mini mall, and
You found religion when you
Realized you could fall
Now you say that you've come far
Enough to give me a call
So you're calling now, but I lie
And I tell you that I've moved

Everything's brand, everything's brand
Everything's brand
Everything's brand, everything's brand
Everything's brand new
