Halloween in Tijuana
10
Full moon in my eyes
11
I wonder how in the hell I got here
12
Without a disguise
13
Should I take this last step
14
Or turn myself around
15
Or follow my intuition into that border town
16
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico [I want to dance in Mexico]
17
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos [...with our friends]
18
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
19
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
20
Pretty girls they beckon
21
From their rooms above
22
Skeletons are dancing
23
In the name of love
24
Don't know where I'm goin'
25
I don't like where I've been
26
There may be no exit
27
But hell I'm going in
28
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
29
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
30
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
31
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
32
I hear the people singing that same old haunting tune
33
I drink because I know it's me against the moon
34
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
35
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
36
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico
37
We do the desperation samba con nos amigos
