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
ย
'Cause you know you're gonna have to leave
To a place where you can breathe
And you know there's no reprieve
