Closer to the Border Songtext
von Hardpan

A hazy Mexican weekend thinking up names
The boys in the front room were playing bored games
Full Moon Carrie went tumbling head over heels
Miss Allen′s twenty secrets were never revealed
Than the band was playing something loud and blue
The two girls dancing together, old steps and new
I can't believe she said that to me
′Cause romance is not dead in my memory
Ref.:


Closer to the border than we know
In faded luxury and driving slow
Roll the windows down and take a good look around
Closer to the border than we know
Heading south with the last record playing
Lying like thieves, nobody saying
Around midnight we heard the mission bells
The candles through the gates were casting their spells
The sun came up on the virgin's wishing well
And we found ourselves surrounded
Ref.:

Closer to the border ...
