Walkabouts - Setting The Woods On Fire

Bordertown Lyrics

by Walkabouts
Album: Setting The Woods On Fire (1994)



I can sleep it off,
I can sleep it off,
Sleep it back to sleep,
Sleep it back to sleep,
I can be most anything I want.
I can be most anything I want.
A long way from the shade,
A long way from the shade,
The north side of the moon.
The north side of the moon.
Down here only rich men lose their shirts.
Down here only rich men lose their shirts.

And john law wakes to sweep,
And john law wakes to sweep,
The morning off the street,
The morning off the street,
But no one cares if he has done his job.
But no one cares if he has done his job.
And postcards never came,
And postcards never came,
From race tracks by the sea.
From race tracks by the sea.
From a gambler who says: you are still my lucky thing.
From a gambler who says: you are still my lucky thing.

Bordertown,
Bordertown,
Theres been an accident in bordertown.
Theres been an accident in bordertown.
Bordertown,
Bordertown,
I am your accident in bordertown.
I am your accident in bordertown.

Coyotes stirs the drinks,
Coyotes stirs the drinks,
And drives his stolen jeep,
And drives his stolen jeep,
And drives the kingsnake to its happy hole.
And drives the kingsnake to its happy hole.
But I stand in the clear,
But I stand in the clear,
The only place he fears,
The only place he fears,
The only place hes never seen me stand.
The only place hes never seen me stand.

Bordertown,
Bordertown,
Theres been an accident in bordertown.
Theres been an accident in bordertown.
Bordertown,
Bordertown,
I am your accident in bordertown.
I am your accident in bordertown.

There aint no seasons here,
There aint no seasons here,
But the freezin still appears,
But the freezin still appears,
Everytime I call this home.
Everytime I call this home.
Cant be enough alone.
Cant be enough alone.

I can sleep it off,
I can sleep it off,
Sleep it back to sleep,
Sleep it back to sleep,
I can be most anything I want.
I can be most anything I want.
A long way from the shade,
A long way from the shade,
The north side of the moon.
The north side of the moon.
Down here only taxi drivers know my name.
Down here only taxi drivers know my name.
