Little America

(album: Guitar Noir - 1993)

With Lana Turner on the screen beside me
The frame is hardly filled by Orson Wells
We switch into a Fred and Ginger number
That they're dancing oh so well

Blowing the blues all night
I'm sure I heard someone say
Stars never fade and everyone's dying to play
In Little America

We got a Chinese Elvis painted by Norman Rockwell
His part tonight will be played by Richard Pryor
The Mason Dixon line divides the free from all the rest so you can sell
Oklahoma to Cinderella from Long Island
And everyone's dying to play
In Little America

Lower your standards raise your prices on cable TV
Pretty woman seen at the death of a salesman
All covered with cream

And everyone's dying to play
In Little America
