lyrics

A disconcerting sight --
My face on a wanted poster
Exhausted mugshot
Of a man backed in a corner

The patrons pay no mind
To my menacing simulacrum
A face that isn’t mine
It’s a person I’ve turned away from

I got close enough to dream
Of a life freed from this drama
So close that I could see
The streets of Tijuana

No one looks up when
the screen flashes my specter
Newscaster softly says
the accomplice has been captured

On a California day
This news barely affects me
Two thousand miles away
No one would suspect me

Agents at Otey Mesa
Take me into custody
I couldn’t cross without
A passport or ID

Six hours in the pen, a divine intervention
They cut me loose again
On the verge of apprehension

At San Ysidro
Had my alibi in order
Spending the afternoon
With friends across the border
