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...
