Me and you used to be like brothers
On the nights we got [bad word] to each other
You know me, I used to have some wit
It ended up in a [bad word] filled sandpit [bad word] from across the border
We drink the six mile water
This mongrel needs a new home
This mongrel needs a new home

That time when things got better
We'd take trips across the wire
Like the night we took the mad acid
Swore we saw the city hall on fire [bad word] from across the border
We drink the six mile water
This mongrel needs a new home
This mongrel needs a new home

(la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
(la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
(la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
But I'm not ready for home

Bukowski Day, I'm gonna miss it
We'd get together each month for a day
All the memories I have are
Decked out in Presbyterian grey
We came from across the border
We drank the six mile water
This mongrel needs a new home
This mongrel needs a new home

(la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
(la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
(la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
But I'm not ready for home

Now, me and you don't talk of one another
It never really started out that way
I always meant to write you a letter
I always meant to call you some day
We came from across the water
We drank the six mile water
This mongrel needs a new home
This mongrel needs a new home

(la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
(la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
(la-la-la-la) I'm sorry
But I'm not ready for home

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
