Fruit Bats - Tegucigalpa Lyrics
I was born in Tegucigalpa the only day it ever snowed there
Was a frozen wave that killed the yucca and the Adam's fig
I always seem to bring the cold anywhere I ever go
That's just the way it's always gonna be
Along the crooked pikes of the ruminants and voyageurs
But my heart belongs to the smoke of Hamilton and Monongahela
And all the dirty cities along the way
But you know they all lied to you
Them there with the spider eyes
I'll always keep you warm
I'll always treat you nice
I was floated in just this morning
I'm a broke-legged paint in a herd of unicorns y'know
I always seem to bring the gray skies every time I ever fly
From all the dirty cities along the way
But you know they all lied to you
Those folks with the spider eyes
I'll always keep you warm
I'll always treat you nice
I'll never snow on your parade
I'll never snow on your parade
I'll never bring a cloudy day
I'll never snow on your parade
Thank you all so very much you crossers of the many time zones
But I'm heading back to the place that makes sense to me
'Cause my heart belongs to the snows of Buffalo and Chicago
And all the dirty cities along the way
Wow, and all the dirty cities along the way
Oh, and all the dirty cities along the way

Fruit Bats Tegucigalpa Comments
I was born in tegucigalpa Honduras!!! Yei yah! Love this song, a nice anthem for the rest of us=]
very boring song. the solo was especially bad
The band (everyone but the singer) is now in the Shins...
The singer, is going places. They better not lose him.....
This makes me love them even more because they sing about my country :)
my favorite Fruit Bats song ever!
@noisesionoise me too!!
i don't think they sound a lot like the shins they 're MORE folk based then the shins !!! i like em both!!! but i think those are two total different feelings of music
@timdaughte Mercer and Danger Mouse are Broken Bells. Check out the website. Nothing like the shins but still good ear exercise :) Hope the shins do something again soon. They were epic live.
@f00by Yeah, but they sounded like the Shins before they belonged. I think the similarities/attitude/philosophy is what brought them in. (I say this without any evidence, just a hunch.) I love both bands, but the latest outputs by both have left me wanting. What's Broken Bells? I haven't heard anything. Are the Shins/Mercer doing ANYTHING? Been a looooong while for them/him.
@timdaughte I would hope they sound like the Shins with 2 of em there ;P Hiatus with the members doing this band and Broken Bells.
this is the best version of the song EVER!!! i mean even compared to the album version this one is WAYS better!!!!!
i can't understand y they wouldn't use the rhodes on album y guys y!?!?!?:D
@alexbidel
Really? The man was in Califone. Califone was "Wilco" before Wilco was Wilco.
cool band and tune, didn't know those guys. sounds very grateful dead-ish, i love it!!!
It's like "The Band" all over again.
i was born in tegucigalpa too.
I would say that a lot of people compare them to the Shins, but they are so underappreciated that not that many people know who they are. Yes, they sound like the Shins, but hey, a good song is a good song. And what have the Shins done lately (I hope they answer that question with a kick-a album soon!)? If your criteron is a good song, then the Fruit Bats are as good as the Shins.
Eric is a member of the shins. I personally like his fruit bats stuff better.
