Busses and Borders Lyrics

Hold up the bus, hold up the bus

I'm getting on

I slept on through, I must've pressed snooze

On my alarm

A wild time, a wild time I had

Up in Toronto

A street car via Roncesvalles took me to the local

Felt just like Melbourne

We were stopped at the border in Buffalo

Had to get through customs and border patrol

I was shitting myself though I'd done nothing wrong

When I made it on the Greyhound many weren't let back on

Ah people weren't let back on

I was visiting my sister, she was studying her masters

Down at NYU

On the lower Eastside yeah we partied all night

But we pulled on through

Busses and borders and final calls

Your sons and daughters trying not to fall

Sending us off out there on our own hoping

One day that we'll find a way home that we'll

Find our way home

I ran into a filmmaker at Central Park, he was riding on a skateboard

I said if you help share the drive I'll take you cross country

In this big old Ford

Wasn't barely two hours and we got pulled over

By the state highway patrol

You see we had no license plates

Just two bearded boys in a brand new vehicle

We explained that we were the relocaters of this RV camping van

With fourteen days to move it to LA just so you understand

That night we should've slept in a Walmart parking lot

But instead we drove down south

Down a dark dead end swamp

The flood light woke us, he was yelling with a gun

He said this is private property get off it son

Busses and borders and final calls

Your sons and daughters trying not to fall

Sending us off out there on our own hoping

One day that we'll find a way home that we'll

Find our way home

Hey sis remember that big old circus tent rave party back in Berlin?

Oh I lost my credit card in a toilet cubicle

It just slid away from me

The bouncers threw me out but I found my bicycle

I tried to dink a ballerina home

I overestimated my ability to balance

She scraped her leg and screamed this has ruined my recital

Busses and borders and final calls

Your sons and daughters trying not to fall

Sending us off out there on our own hoping

One day that we'll find a way home yeah

We'll find our way home

Yeah we'll find our way home
