Colin Hay - Into The Cornfields lyrics

Driving through the south No need to stop for gas That's all taken care of By the gas man Some of it is very beautiful And some of it has scars And some of it is ugly As a bigot in a bar Driving through the south by car Me and Bonn and Charlie B The night makes us stop By the side of the road for tea I stare up in the distance A branding iron is stuck up in the night sky It's in the shape of America And it's in flames But I'm not sure why Into the cornfields Into the cornfields And we know a secret It happened some time ago A woman k**ed a man here She was in a traveling show Burlesque you could say With breasts and body beautiful But serpents appeared from her shoulder blades That's why the people come Into the cornfields Into the cornfields Into the cornfields We don't we don't we don't want to go We're in Virginia now It's so beautiful and green Hill and valleys and opens skies Yes it's the best we've ever seen We're still sitting by the roadside Waitin' for a sign Yeah me and Bonn and Charlie B Together for a time Into the cornfields Into the cornfields Into the cornfields We don't we don't we don't want to go Into the cornfields Into the cornfields Into the cornfields We don't we don't we don't want to go back there
