Jack at the Asylum

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm in the loony bin The dead fish The air-conditioning I got a ticket for your grande finale Its 130 in Death Valley I've been lost and double-crossed Chased down and stabbed in the bloody frost I'm a lost child on your evening news You're a queen in a castle of sugar cubes [Chorus] America! America! [Verse 2] I've seen your guillotine A fat boy adrift in a limousine Through the land of the lost Cherokee Down the rivers of red majesty And I've seen your pastures of green The crack whores, the wars on the silver screen Hiroshima and the lynching tree Its a wonder my eyes still can see [Chorus] America! America! You give me nightmares [Verse 3] 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 The red fangs, the lips, the avarice Its getting high time for your grande finale Its 130 in Death Valley [Chorus] America! America! You give me dreams to dream Popcorn memories and in love
