music and lyrics by Wayne the Humps
The skies are blue all day here in Santa Fe
The days become a haze, day after day
So then I spend my time wasting all of my time
Like that’s some big ole crime
There was a time I drank from the vine
All of the time, love that wine
By goblet or glass I’d get really drunk off my ass
And for what you might ask, “Huh, I don’t know”
The deserts are hot, rattlesnakes or not
Oh we get snow in the mountains a lot in Santa Fe
Los Alamos nearby
They built the Fat Man and that Little Guy
They tried to blow up the sky near Santa Fe
They all raised their glass
It was lab alcohol at best
Two hundred proof would be my guess
Alamogordo, the Journey of Death
So drinking in this area goes way back
Enjoying my wine from a leather sack
Oppenheimer, Teller they were smoking some crack
The fallout landed on some bovine’s back
Well they didn’t count on that
And I won’t drink to that
That’s a fact
