Northern Frontier Lyrics - X-ray Sierra - Tom Cochrane

On a muggy night in the north end in july 

A kid named Joseph Beeper Spence 

Took a shotgun blast to the back 

And died... 

There by the cp tracks, along the great divide you see 

Fought two native gangs called the deuce and the i.p. 

Dances with warriors, hatred between slaves 

They kill each other off... we all get saved 

I can't help but think... his mother's tears 

Beeper Spence was thirteen 

In the northern frontier

A van crossed the bridge that night 

And stopped at flora avenue 

When Beeper thought they'd lost their way 

Walked over to see what he could do 

"Are you i.p?..." "straight up". he'd say 

Even if it wasn't true 

"Bust a cap in his ass" 

...He turned to run, heard the blast 

Then he was through 

The kids in the van weren't much older than him 

Couldn't tell the difference by the colour of their skin 

One thing in common, and one thing was real clear 

Their future was ended in the northern frontier
