Ballboy - Stars And Stripes lyrics

You wait in by the telephone for the beautiful Argentinean girl to call But it's been a week now And you're sick of drink and waking up to headaches and financial embarra**ment But it keeps on happening And your paint gun's lying empty there are pristine walls in galleries that you just can't face Not today anyway And the President says you're an influence on kids in the street but you don't know what he means You didn't vote for him anyway And the stars and stripes will shine All across the land tonight And your name will be up high in brightly coloured lights And the stars and stripes will shine All across the land tonight And your name will be up high in brightly coloured lights And the tabloid press still phone you up for interviews about your work, but you turn them down You've got nothing to say to them Another girl, another work of art, another bright red wall, another panic attack and who knows Where it will all end And the stars and stripes will shine for you tonight All across the USA your name will be in lights And you don't know anything that you want more But you don't know anything you want anymore And you are a man again You are a man again
