El nombre Calexico, tomado de la población fronteriza norteamericana Calexico, California, define perfectamente a esta banda, ya que es la mezcla entre California y México.
Son un grupo norteamericano originario de Tucson, Arizona, amantes de los sonidos del mundo. Sus dos líderes, Joey Burns (voz y guitarra) y John Convertino (batería) comenzaron a tocar juntos en la banda angelina Giant Sand antes de fundar Calexico.

F Wake up now little sleepyhead FGG From your nightmarish day the dead trip F You'd be better off not to know FGAsus4/F Of the wild seeds you let go From your thorny fingertips
Riff
F Try to clean bloodstained hands F That ran away and left the scene GG Of a crime last night F Always thought you stood on the other side F Never thought the roof would cave in GG Where you were hiding
DmFC There's a wave of fear that creeps right in DmFC A vacant stare that can't say where it's been E Or what's been laced FF The trail leads all over the place CE There's an angel at your side AmF Who rescued you in a nick of time Esus4E Explains how you almost fell FEsus4E And vanished into a fatal spell Fsus4Esus4E She looks into your eyes and sees There's something still missing
Riff
DmFC She notices a chunk bleeding from your chest DmFCE Tries to stop the bloodflow with her best compress FF But the wreckage is in a mess CE There's an emotional tax, Am f figured in after the fact Esus4E And stories unfold FEsus4E The world grows dark and bones get cold Fsus4Esus4E You look into your heart and you know something still missing
