  • 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 going to 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
    To a place where you can breathe
    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 let

    There'll be the same old faces in the same old places
    Where my youth was well misspent
    But I tow 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
    To a place where you can breathe
    And you know there's no reprieve

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