I'm Miss Liberty Give me your junkies Your irresponsible drummers I’ve swept my halls clean of clean Your kitchen raiders your wingtip dayrunners
Go plant your flags and make your Promise to my promised land And we’ll make love to the new frontier In the hot beach sand
You’ll hold me like a drowning man And come at me too human and then Drag me down again and leave me
Broken like a spine Split open like a melon that’s been Dropped from a high high place Broken like a spine Split open like a melon that’s been dropped
I like this country she’s like a whore Who loves her junkies Who loves all her sad outlaws Lifts up her skirt to tease and flirt With the wretched who have washed up at her shores
When we die I hope someone’s god Takes us in like immigrants And we’ll make love in the leftover light Of heaven’s tenements
You’ll hold me like a drowning man And come at me too human Drag me down again and leave me
Broken like a spine Split open like a melon that’s been Dropped from a high high place Broken like a spine Split open like a melon that’s been dropped
Yes Yeah Yeah Yeah Yes
