Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The first time I saw you standin' in the water
You must have been all of a thousand feet fall
Nearly naked unashamed like Herod's daughter
Your love was so big, it made New York look small
[Verse 2]
You've been the subject of so many dreams
Since I climbed your torso
[Verse 3]
Oh, my statue of liberty
Boo, boo
Impaled on your hair, what do you do, do, do to me?
Boo, boo
[Verse 4]
I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book
A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt
A billion lovers with their cameras snap to look
And in my fantasy I sail beneath your skirt
[Verse 5]
You've been the subject of so many dreams
Since I climbed your torso
[Verse 6]
Oh, my statue of liberty
Boo, boo
Impaled on your hair, what do you do, do, do to me?
Boo, boo
[Verse 7]
Sing
Pop me
[Verse 8]
Oh, my statue of liberty
Boo, boo
Impaled on your hair, what do you do, do, do to me?
Boo, boo
Sing
[Verse 9]
Oh, my statue of liberty
Boo, boo
Impaled on your hair, what do you do, do, do to me?
Boo, boo
[Verse 10]
