See America

Sleeping in a yellow cab

My head against the barrier

Lost 'em as we touched St. Anne

Stepped from the ferryboat there

Looked around the terminal

Paid the toll

And split the fare

Wake me up

Oh, wake me before Union Square

Got a couple numbers to call

Tryin' to wrack my brains

But I can't think of the name

Or the hotel at all

We're off to see America

We're asking for directions, yes

We're off to see America

We're tumbling in our chariot

Speeding over soaking streets

Tides of the destitute wail

Coughing up a lung of steam

Rise from the underground rail

Never felt so far away

Up till now

I was green

Wake me up

Oh, wake me before Union Square

Got a couple numbers to call

Tryin' to wrack my brains

But I can't think of the name

Or the hotel at all

We're off to see America

We're asking for directions, yes

We're off to see America

We're tumbling in our chariot

What a slender thread

I've been clinging to

All these cracks for me

To slip into

We're off to see America
