Jack at the Asylum
I'm in the loony bin
The dead fish, the air-conditioning
I got a ticket for your grande finale
It's a 130 in Death Valley
I've been lost and double-crossed (double-crossed)
Chased down, stabbed in the bloody frost
I'm a lost child on your evening news (evening news)
You're a queen in a castle of sugar cubes
America
America
I've seen your guillotine (guillotine)
A fat boy adrift in a limousine (limousine)
Through the land of the lost Cherokee (Cherokee)
Down the rivers of red majesty
And I've seen your pastures of green (not a green)
The crack whores, the wars on the silver screen (silver screen)
Hiroshima and the lynching tree (lynching tree)
It's a wonder my eyes still can see
America
America
You give me nightmares
Did you kill your son Joe Hill?
The night nurse, she read me his final will
I thought of running off, but where would I go?
I wouldn't make it beyond Buffalo
I'd miss your cowgirl kiss (cowgirl kiss)
The red fangs, the lips, the avarice (avarice)
It's getting high time for your grande finale (grande finale)
It's a 130 in Death Valley
America
America
You give me dreams to dream
Pop-corn memories in love
The dead fish, the air-conditioning
I got a ticket for your grande finale
It's a 130 in Death Valley
I've been lost and double-crossed (double-crossed)
Chased down, stabbed in the bloody frost
I'm a lost child on your evening news (evening news)
You're a queen in a castle of sugar cubes
America
America
I've seen your guillotine (guillotine)
A fat boy adrift in a limousine (limousine)
Through the land of the lost Cherokee (Cherokee)
Down the rivers of red majesty
And I've seen your pastures of green (not a green)
The crack whores, the wars on the silver screen (silver screen)
Hiroshima and the lynching tree (lynching tree)
It's a wonder my eyes still can see
America
America
You give me nightmares
Did you kill your son Joe Hill?
The night nurse, she read me his final will
I thought of running off, but where would I go?
I wouldn't make it beyond Buffalo
I'd miss your cowgirl kiss (cowgirl kiss)
The red fangs, the lips, the avarice (avarice)
It's getting high time for your grande finale (grande finale)
It's a 130 in Death Valley
America
America
You give me dreams to dream
Pop-corn memories in love
