Show me how it's done, you're a salesman's son
Go down to the end of your street and melt into
The star-spangled night, catch a first cla** flight
They'll take you to the edge of the world
It's flatter than the maps that they've drawn when they own the law
They'll trust you to the young like they wish they were
'Cause they've been there, they know you, they like your kind
They'll teach you who you are and they'll sell you to yourself
Somewhere south of your neighborhood
There's a chemical flavor
Not so far from your hotel
The scenery is bringing you down
Somewhere south of your border
Can you follow the order?
Like an ancient explorer
They recognized your eyes and you still don't know why
When you see me wave, don't wave back
I might not feel the need to explain what I mean
It's a dangerous dance but if I had the chance
I'd get you at the edge of the world
It's stranger than the stories you choose for the evening news
I never hear your name 'cause you write it all yourself
At the edge of the world, it's a job done well
They'll shoot you for a look inside your shiny plastic shell
Somewhere south of your neighborhood
There's a chemical flavor
Not so far from your hotel
The radio is casting a spell
Somewhere south of your border
Can you follow the order?
Like an ancient explorer
They recognized your eyes and you still don't know why
When will you die for the last time in my dreams?
