"Old Mexico" lyrics - THE GO-BETWEENS

Somebody somewhere is stealing time
Take a trip to Old Mexico
Where you can unwind
No need to say you're sorry
No need to beg
Just try the perfect stranger in your head

You were so excited
But you weren't invited
You were so excited
Turn the lights off, you'll be blinded

Hang out with lotus people
Down at the beach
Daydreams and brilliant colours
They're in your reach
No need to say you're sorry
No need to beg
Just try the perfect stranger in your head

You were so excited
But you weren't invited
You were so excited
Turn the lights off, you'll be blinded

No need to say you're sorry
No need to beg
Just try the perfect stranger in your head
No need to pray for glory
No need to bleed
Just try another story is what you need

You were so excited but you weren't invited
