Look beyond the things you know


There's a mule on the airplane sitting next to you
You'd know her name was Consuelo if you'd be introduced


Consuelo carries a package and she's paid to look away
She's departures and destinations and silence on the way


Don't look now, there's a mule on the plane
You deplore the methods and you thrive on the results
And your greatest fear is to be found out

She deplores the methods and subsists on the results
And her greatest fear is to be found out


There's a mule on the airplane staring straight ahead
Not much for conversation, just staring straight ahead
Getting used to the sad sensation of feeling out of place

She's from one of those countries where they come up and starve right in your face

Don't look now, there's a mule on the plane


Well even a broken clock's right twice a day!
But you, you suffer, you suffer and suffer

Yes, I know it's true

Consuelo drifts asleep

She dreams of medicine
She dreams of food
She dreams of shelter


So look beyond the things you know
Don't look now...
