borderline tango - jo carol pierce lyrics

[verse 1]
caballero, your bright feathered tattoos
can never cover those deep, dark bruises
i wear my scars like the sky wears her stars
our getaway car got as far as las cruces
where the diesel guitars from faraway bars
blast out the best songs from our holy wars
coyote carnival catches on fire
all the cops in the world pick us up on radar
caballero, you know how to do
that borderline tango

[chorus]
the rush of the wind through the engine
the way you can take everything i can send you
you tried to k!ll me but you didn’t mean to
just another turn of that borderline tango

[verse 2]
vaya con dios, caballero
for a cowboy like you it’s the only way through
these coyotes know i’m a cowboy too
so their odds are all even on our next rendezvous
so go back to l.a., i’ll go back to my cave
let these coyote witnesses try to explain
how your wings beat against my window pane
’til these stone cold ashes burst into flame
caballero, we showed ’em a turn or two
to that borderline tango
[chorus]
the rush of the wind through the engine
the way you can take everything i can send you
you tried to k!ll me but you didn’t mean to
it was just another turn of that borderline tango

[accordion solo]

[outro]
messenger whistling from a roadside shrine
tornado twists down some sacred white lines
borderline tango, oh
borderline tango, oh
borderline tango, oh woah
woah (ow!)
