- Bordertown LyricsI can sleep it off,
Sleep it back to sleep,
I can be most anything I want.
A long way from the shade,
The north side of the moon.
Down here only rich men lose their shirts.
And John Law wakes to sweep,
The morning off the street,
But no one cares if he has done his job.
And postcards never came,
From race tracks by the sea.
From a gambler who says: "You are still my lucky thing."
Bordertown,
There's been an accident in Bordertown.
Bordertown,
I am your accident in Bordertown.
Coyotes stirs the drinks,
And drives his stolen jeep,
And drives the kingsnake to its happy hole.
But I stand in the clear,
The only place he fears,
The only place he's never seen me stand.
Bordertown,
There's been an accident in Bordertown.
Bordertown,
I am your accident in Bordertown.
There ain't no seasons here,
But the freezin' still appears,
Everytime I call this home.
Can't be enough alone.
I can sleep it off,
Sleep it back to sleep,
I can be most anything I want.
A long way from the shade,
The north side of the moon.
Down here only taxi drivers know my name.
Sleep it back to sleep,
I can be most anything I want.
A long way from the shade,
The north side of the moon.
Down here only rich men lose their shirts.
And John Law wakes to sweep,
The morning off the street,
But no one cares if he has done his job.
And postcards never came,
From race tracks by the sea.
From a gambler who says: "You are still my lucky thing."
Bordertown,
There's been an accident in Bordertown.
Bordertown,
I am your accident in Bordertown.
Coyotes stirs the drinks,
And drives his stolen jeep,
But I stand in the clear,
The only place he fears,
The only place he's never seen me stand.
Bordertown,
There's been an accident in Bordertown.
Bordertown,
I am your accident in Bordertown.
There ain't no seasons here,
But the freezin' still appears,
Everytime I call this home.
Can't be enough alone.
I can sleep it off,
Sleep it back to sleep,
I can be most anything I want.
A long way from the shade,
The north side of the moon.
Down here only taxi drivers know my name.

✔️

✔️
When we try to interpret the meaning, the Walkabouts' song 'Bordertown' depicts a town where accidents occur, the town representing ironically the unexpected events or results in life. The words are talking about the state of being cut off and being far away and giving the impression of a man/woman who is unwelcome and unnoticed, thus accentuating loneliness and feeling out of place. Bordertown lyrics are mostly about self-examination, inner turmoil, loneliness, self-assertion and reminiscence. Moreover, the song points out that the opposite of all these is the isolation and yearning, the quest for identity and the role of fate and accidents. The lyrics talk about some grown-up issues and make allusions to gambling and accidents that probably are not appropriate for very young kids. Nevertheless, there is nothing like foul language, violence or drug use that would keep even a general audience with parental supervision away from it.
