American Stripper

When dreams are deserted but the figures remain
And you're riding on the roller coaster over again
You stand and be counted or you lay down and fall
And sometime you blow your back out
When your back is to the wall

And if he's late. Baby don't wait
Go get that money, forget the slipper
American stripper. American stripper

Let's all get together and sing for the lost
Who came here just like pilgrims
But the maiden ship was tossed
We've all dreamed of better, this goes for you all
How green was your valley baby, how bad was the fall

And if he's late. Baby don't wait
Go get that money, forget the slipper
American stripper. American stripper

Oh an angel sighed again. Oh an angel sighed
Oh erase those lies again. Oh erase those lies

It's the end of an era. When the doors are thrown wide
Go take your final dream and go invest that fucker right
And life could be better. But what difference it make?
The poets in the gutter and the kings own tits are fake

And if he's late. Baby don't wait
Go get that money, forget the slipper
American stripper. American stripper
American stripper. American stripper
