Go to Mexico
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You love sun in the distance
trying to be a pretty golden brown
Smoke and rum is my mission
happiness is all I need right now
Gonna come a time
There's gonna come a time when
I can go to Mexico
I believe in the here and now
I believe in the here and now tomorrow's pain will melt away
Get your hands on the trigger
I saw the latest story on TV
a blue bag flowed past my window
this helicopter's too damn close to me
And there's
there's gonna come a time
there will come a time, we'll be just like Mexico
When I go there
when I go there, I'll be wearing purple ribbons when I go there
when I go there, I'll be dancing in the street when I go there
when I go there
We can go to Mexico
