jack at the asylum

Singer:felice brothers, the

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
