Collect your belt [bad word] collect your shoes.
 I wasn't born here I'm just passing through.
 Don't speak of death and don't speak 'till your spoken to.

 Rehearse your birhtdate and rehearse your name
 Sundown Tijuana, sunrise in L.A.
 Turn off the bedroom light
 Turn off the bedroom light for me.

 Hide me, Pacific coast
 Surround me, N.S.F.O
 Birds on [bad word] 
 when it lands on the road.
 Don't let it be a plead
 I'll send word from JFK
 they lost my trail 
 But I will never lose my way.

 Old folks are suspects and the kids are crimes.
 Our legs are scars and our hometowns are knives.
 Grandmother's suitcase and your father's hazel eyes.

 My bags are checked and my crimes are confessed
 I kiss on your forehead and sweat on your dress
 I won't be home tonight
 I won't [bad word] home tonight.
