Jack At The Asylum

(الألبوم: Life In The Dark - 2016)

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

America!
America!

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

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
The red fangs, the lips, the avarice
Its getting high time for your grande finale
Its 130 in Death Valley

America!
America!
You give me dreams to dream
Popcorn memories and in love
