Holy Mother of the simple one
When you smile at me you bring me down
You betray your thoughts
All your prayers to naught
Now out of debt, you speak in tongues
And out of breath, your work is done
And your dream, absolves
And your path, dissolve
And your dream, absolves
And your path, dissolve
When you smile at me you bring me down
You betray your thoughts
All your prayers to naught
Now out of debt, you speak in tongues
And out of breath, your work is done
And your dream, absolves
And your path, dissolve
And your dream, absolves
And your path, dissolve

this is not similar to stop swimming at all. this song is about a man who loves a girl and the girl used to love him back, but now doesn't and is skrewing up her life and making a mess of it and the man is sad that she has done this to herself when she once was so perfect. it's very possible that they had children, due to the first line. i love this song so much it amazes me. when it hits the chorus i just about die.
No this is a song about Catholicism in Mexico. This is Wilson's incredulity about how the "simple ones" there swallow it hook, line and sinker.
