Thinking Of The USA

(album: Learning English: The Learner's Workbook: Grammar And Drill - 2021)

I'm kicking up dust on an empty street
Waiting for John, Rob, Brian and Liz
I've already been stopped by the police
They're getting kicks, I'm feeling sick

And I'm thinking
Yeah I'm thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA

10:30 and the band is still not on the stage
The kids are getting restless but it's all to be paid
I really think that I should not stay
I need a rest, I need a drink

And I'm thinking
Yeah I'm thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Dreaming of the CIA

12:45 at the Roxy Club
And I'm tired of just hanging around
I need some sleep, I am so tired
All these people making crazy sounds

And I'm thinking
Yeah I'm thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Dreaming of the SLA

USA, USA, USA, USA!

I'm thinking
I'm thinking of the USA
Thinking of the USA
Dreaming of the CIA

Lou Reed came from the USA
Walter Lure comes from the USA
Richard Nixon came from the USA
Gary Gilmore came from the USA
