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
