This
song
brings
to
mind
two
things.
first,
an
image
of
robert
mitchum
Standing
in
the
doorway
of
a
bar
in
tijuana,
and
second,
a
line
by
Thomas
mcguane,
my
brother-in-law,
from
his
book,
panama,
"The
night
wrote
a
check
the
morning
couldn′t
cash."

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
[i
want
to
dance
in
mexico]
We
do
the
desperation
samba
con
nos
amigos
[...with
our
friends]
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,

"Hey,

Ooh
