Morning in America
Diet pills and c**aine eyes
Antiseptic shopping malls
Giant empty car park skies
Amputated disco beats
Beamed in from a satellite
Watch as some born into life
We're both alone inside
And you just want to be saved, again and again
But I'm pushing you away my only friend
You just want to be saved, again and again
The morning comes, you wake up numb
Middle American girl
You want me to hurt like you
You think you'd have proved something, do ya?
And you're afraid to find yourself
To find that there is nothing to ya
My body is a forest fire
My secrets are alive in you
Both my hands on the wheel
Accompany my own rescue
And you just want to be saved, again and again
But I'm pushing you away my only friend
You just want to be saved, again and again
The morning comes, you wake up numb
Middle American girl
The morning comes, you wake up numb
Middle American girl, just walk away from me
Love just walk away from me, love, love
This ghost is leaving you for good
This ghost has got to get back home
Let you walk your life alone
I was never yours to own
So I read your script and ring the changes
Scratch my name off all the pages
Hit your marks and read your lines
Take off your clothes when the scene demands
You just want to be saved, again and again
But I'm pushing you away my only friend
You just want to be saved, again and again
The morning comes, you wake up numb
Middle American girl
Your morning comes, you wake up numb
Middle American girl
The morning comes, you wake up numb
Middle American girl
