Halloween in Tijuana full moon in my eyes
I wonder how in the hell I got here without a disguise
Should I take this last step or turn myself around
Or follow my intuition into that border town

Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos

Pretty girls they beckon from their rooms above
Skeletons are dancing in the name of love
Don't know where I'm goin', I don't like where I've been
There may be no exit but hell I'm going in

Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos

I hear the people singing that same old haunting tune
I drink because I know it's me against the moon

Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos

Tss, tss, tss
Hey, psst amigo!
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
