Lyrics - Miss America by David Byrne

I love america, her secret’s safe with me
And
I know her wicked ways
The parts you never see
Oh super-girl, you’ll be my super-model
Although you have a reputation
Can
I afford to move above my station
I’m not the only heart you’ve conquered
And
I love america, but boy can she be cruel
And
I know how tall she is
Without her platform shoes
Oh super-girl, you’ll be my super-model
Although at times it might seem awkward
Don’t run away, oh don’t you recognize me
I’m not the only heart you’ve conquered
And
I kissed america, when she was fleecing me
She knows
I understand that she needs to be free
And
I miss america and sometimes she does too
And sometimes
I think of her
When she is fucking you
I love america
Yo siempre he confiado en ti [=i have always trusted you]
I love america
Por que me tratas asi? [=why do you treat me like this? ]
Oh super-girl, you’ll be my super-model
Although your pants are round your ankles
And when you’re down,
I’ll be your dirty harry
It will be just like in the movies
Oh super-girl, you’ll be my super-model
Although at times it might seem awkward
Don’t look away,
I’ll be your teenage fanclub
I’m not the only heart you’ve conquered
