lyrics

I met a fellow named Raulo
He told me that he came from Sao Paulo
With his woman Vanessa
You know she was a hell of a dresser

How does he keep her in such fine clothes?
He told me he was pickin' tomatoes
He wasn't pickin' tomatas
He was a mule for the Zetas

Heroine it San Luis Obispo
Or crystal meth up to Frisco
Sometimes he got a little nervous
But they paid him very well for his service.

Carrying cocaine into Fresno one night.
Things didn't go quite according to plan.
Federal agents waiting at the door he jumped
Out of the Fire into the Pan.

A pretty woman out of Raleigh
We're gonna call her name "Molly"
Her childhood was very abusive
She survived by being reclusive

Memories that never would escape her
Of an uncle that repeatedly raped her.
Memories made even more sinister
Her uncle was a Methodist minister

Her doctor finally gave her a prescription
that soon became an addiction
But her life became increasingly hollow
with every pill she would swallow

Right down to the fibers of the end of her rope
One night when she'd had all that she could stand
She washed down every capsule with some Thunderbird she jumped
Out of the Fire into the Pan
