America - 1960
Tekst :
How ’bout a tear for the year of 1960
I watched the fins of the cadillac fall
I remember dad explained about the berlin wall
How ’bout a tear for the torment and the trouble
That was brewing in the asian way
I wore a smile like the faces that surround l.a.
In the city of the lost and found
It’s hard to get a break
Hard to stop from getting turned around
And make the same mistakes
My reputation’s on the line
The final day of ’59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
How ’bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso
I practiced 61 minutes a day
I could never reach the keys
But it was all ok
How ’bout a cheer for the humour in my brother
That could brighten up the darkest nights
It’s just another sign of love
Whenever we would fight
It’s all the same twenty years ago
As it is right now
Like a tour at the closing show
When I take my bow
My reputation’s on the line
At the start of ’79
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
I’ve played this part so many times
Since the end of ’59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today

And we hide behind,
Lies, anger, Hate they shoo love away,
Build shells of ourselves outside,
It shelters body from cold reigns of reality,
Come on, Step out, of your rind, assemble strength, focus,
Release and run to me you can never look...
Take one to the mountain
Take one to the sea
Take one to the belly of the beast
And then you ll take one with me
Shut it (2x)
Freezing in the fires
Well I oughta howl your name
Once you...
Ooo-ooo-ooooo, thinking about you,

Rockets launch us to outerspace, far away from the human wasteland
We re bringing heaven to other worlds, abandoning the home fires of our birth
There are fools who believe we can t live here as one
There are wisemen who believe it still can be done...
