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
Bordertown
I am your accident in Bordertown

Coyotes stirs the drinks
And drives his stolen jeep
And drives the kingsnake 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
There's been an accident in Bordertown
Bordertown
I am your accident in Bordertown

There ain't no seasons here
But the freezin' still appears
Everytime 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
