Postcards From Paraguay lyrics

One thing was leading to the next,

I bit off more than I could chew.

I had the power to sign the cheques,

It wasn't difficult to do.

I couldn't stay and face the music,

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

From Paraguay.

I robbed a bank full of dinero,

A great big mountain of dough.

So it was goodbye companero

And cheerio.

I couldn't stay and face the music,

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

From Paraguay.

I never meant to be a cheater,

But there was blood on the wall.

I had to steal from Peter

To pay what I owed to Paul.

I couldn't stay and face the music,

So many reasons why

I won't be sending postcards

From Paraguay.
