[Verse 1]
One and one-half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are traveling together in the Sangre de Cristo
The Blood of Christ mountains of New Mexico

[Pre-Chorus]
On the last leg of a journey
They started a long time ago
The arc of a love affair
Rainbows in the high desert air

[Chorus]
Mountain passes slipping into stones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones

[Verse 2]
Thinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the door
Two people were married, the act was outrageous
The bride was contagious, she burned like a bride

[Pre-Chorus]
These events may have had some effect
On the man with the girl by his side
The arc of a love affair
His hands rolling down her hair
[Chorus]
Love like lightning shaking 'til it moans
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones

[Bridge]
And woah-oh-oh, she said, "Why?
Why don't we drive through the night
And wake up down in Mexico"
He said, "Oh, I, I don't know nothin' about, nothin' about no Mexico"
"And tell me why, why won't you love me for who I am where I am?"
He said, "'Cause that's not the way the world is, baby
This is how I love you, baby
This is how I love you, baby"

[Verse 3]
One and one-half wandering Jews
Return to their natural coasts
To resume old acquaintances and step out occasionally
And speculate who had been damaged the most

[Pre-Chorus]
Easy time will determine if these consolations
Will be their reward
The arc of a love affair
Waiting to be restored
[Chorus]
You take two bodies and you twirl them into one
Their hearts and their bones, and they won't come undone
No, they won't come undone
Hearts and bones
