about

"Kochmer's jam bag of composer treats gets it due on the below the border surge of "Consuela." Swaying like a bent outtake from Los Lobos, "Consuela" is all whispered spoken word vocals, chattering bongos, glowing vibraphones and spooky rumba beat. Like a scene from Orson Welles' "Touch of Evil", "Consuela" remains a mystery long after the song has finished, "hummingbirds melt in the dawn", little more than a mental tease as you pass through its Mexican shanty town in song, parched, paranoid, and sleepless." ~ Yahoo! Music Blogs : Better Living Through MP3s

lyrics

Lyrics:

Consuela, I am wandering through the desert.
Consuela, I am wandering through the desert
Like a beetle with three legs.

Where is that lizard? That mean old nasty lizard?
The one who eats the little fishes?

The owl, the scorpion, the rusting Chevrolet:
Everything is perfect in its way.

Consuela, I don’t know what’s gotten into you,
You painted whiskers on your car!
Consuela, I don’t know what’s gotten into you,
You put ears on your home,
You used to leave well enough alone.

I don’t know what’s gotten into you!
I don’t know what’s gotten into you!
Consuela the cacti rise like skyscrapers…

The owl, the scorpion, the rusting Chevrolet:
Everything is perfect in its way.

The hummingbirds melt in the dawn – Consuela…
The hummingbirds melt in the dawn – Consuela… ahhhh

Consuela
Consuela

The hummingbirds melt in the dawn – Consuela…
The hummingbirds melt in the dawn – Consuela… ahhhh
