[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]
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
