Bordertown

I can sleep it off Sleep it back to sleep I can be most anything I want A long way from the shade The north side of the moon Down here only rich men lose their shirts And John Law wakes to sweep The morning off the street But no one cares if he has done his job And postcards never came From race tracks by the sea From a gambler who says, "You are still my lucky thing" Bordertown There's been an accident in bordertown Borderline I am your accident in bordertown Coyotes stirs the drinks And drives his stolen jeep And drives the king snake to its happy hole But I stand in the clear The only place he fears The only place he's never seen me stand Bordertown I am your accident in bordertown Bordertown I am your accident in bordertown But there ain't no seasons here Still the freezin' way up here Every time I call this home Can't be enough alone I can sleep it off Sleep it back to sleep I can be most anything I want A long way from the shade The north side of the moon Down here only taxi drivers know my name
