South Of The Border (Rehearsal Recording, Spring 1997)

I know a freaky young lady, name of Cocaine Katie She makes my temperature freeze She's got a blood-red powder when she gives a shout She'll bring you to your knees Well, we were being clever, playing God games forever She said she only meant to please But I'm someone's brother, got a father and a mother You know I'm gonna have to leave South of the border I think you oughta South of the border I think you oughta 'Cause you know you're gonna have to leave (ooh, whoa, yeah) To a place where you can breathe (ooh, whoa, yeah) And you know there's no reprieve There'll be tears on leaving, but there won't be no grieving 'Cause a city soon forgets To me, it's magic, to the landlord, it's tragic He's got another room to let There'll be the same old faces in the same old places Where my youth was well misspent But I toe the line and move the time To a town called "No Regrets" South of the border I think you oughta South of the border I think you oughta 'Cause you know you're gonna have to leave (ooh, whoa, yeah) To a place where you can breathe (ooh, whoa, yeah) And you know there's no reprieve You know you're gonna have to leave (ooh, whoa, yeah) To a place where you can breathe (ooh, whoa, yeah) And you know there's no reprieve Also, a place grows on you like an abscess All your food source's gone to the Pot Noodle People don't smile at you on the street Unless they secretly want something of you No one lets you down, you suck, since your mom's not about That's south of the border for ya No food in the fridge, though That's south of the border for ya 'Cause you know you're gonna have to leave To a place where you can breathe And you know there's no reprieve
