lyrics

Road To Ayacucho

I’m on the road to Ayacucho
On a dirty mountain highway
I’m on the road to Ayacucho
On a hot sunshiny day

I’ll be shaken up
In an old bus machine
The air is full of dust
And it smells like gasoline

Riding along
Serpentine roads
An ancient country coach
Full of travelers with their loads

Groaning and moaning
The bus is struggling its way up
Climbing like a capricorn
The engine better not stop
And down to the valleys
It is braking hard
Like a frightened dog
Slipping down
An icy boulevard

Riding along…

Mud-plastered cottages
And deshevelled trees
Passing my window
Farmers working on their knees

Scattered lamas
Goats and toads
Are crossing all along
The dusty winding roads

Riding along…

We’re riding along
In walking pace
An iron mule
On a turtle race
I hope that we don’t fall
Into a riverbed
I should get that
Out of my head

Riding along…

Close to the edge
Of the abyss
Close to death
Close to Lucifer’s kiss

A crappy roller coaster
At walking speed
The will to survive
Is a simple creed

Riding along…

I’m on the road to Ayacucho
That name means „place of the dead“
Now I know why
I got it in my head
