lyrics

I’m calling out to you baby from the lonesome hotel, with bull horns brass trumpets and monastery bells
I’m calling out to you baby from across the world, from the valley of smoke, the land elegant Indian girls
The spirit calls out to me when I sleep, you should see the scares on the company that I keep
America America, my distant dream, my exodus from God and country and queen
The known killer , the outlawed thief, the casino reservation pit boss great grandson of the chief
Glazed over drunken sedated eyes, you look like the lion , caged up waiting to die

Come Find me darling, i left a note on your door, I’m busking outside the vinyl record store
The sound of thunder, the bitches brew , the drunken Irishmen in the Chinese hostel , they call Stu
In the last real bar at the end of this world ,there’s a bamboo tattooed topless girl
Who gambles and drinks and smokes all night, who’s destined to be come your beloved wife
Of all the scary things that come out at night, she frightens me most under the glow of flashing neon lights

They video tape my life and record the sound, sequester the jury and bribe the witness with sterling pounds
Ive sold the clothes on my back for a ticket home, my mother waits impatiently by the telephone
Im down to the last drag of my last cigarette, I put everything I own on Ten six black
The chairman Mao in his mausoleum , monster genius I couldn’t wake up early enough to see him
History is written by churches and kings, dictators scribes and by the songs that we sing

A man can wait, until he cant wait anymore, but this my friend is what you’ve been waiting for
In the name of the father, in the name of the son , in name of Daniel Day Lewis , find me a gun
The crescendo, the sunrise, the broken heart, the sweet revenge outside the dive bar
