Mistress American

There was a song you used to play

Before they drove you away

But I remember every stroke

Of every chord you played

In the room they gave the band

I thought I heard you say

That rock 'n' roll's the perfect scare

There's a crime that doesn't pay

But for mistress America

I'm gonna get a gun

And learn the words to all of your songs

Mistress America, smile for the camera

I think we're gonna make it this timе

Think we're gonna be finе

And I had never prayed before

But if it keeps the devil from your door

I'll kneel down and bruise my knees

And with your hard magnolia floors

'Cause I thought I saw the light

But it was just a satellite station

Just another human creation

Where you gonna run to now?

Oh, well mistress America

I'm gonna get a gun

And learn the words to all of your songs

Mistress America, smile for the camera

I think we're gonna make it this time

Think we're gonna be fine

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Oh, well mistress America

I'm gonna get a gun

And learn the words to all of your songs

Mistress America, smile for the camera

I think we're gonna make it this time

Think we're gonna be fine

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where de we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?
