Broken down out of town
On America-go-round
Engine makes a choking sound
First a lurch, then a jolt, like a stray lightning bolt
Started our unstable colt
And like the rain came Gibraltar’s way
The roof above the plains quickly melts away
Here, take me I’m yours
Do as you please
Take me, I’m yours
Every kid loves balloons
Wants to sail them to the moon
Old folks sing a different tune
Underpaid, overdrawn
Broadcast on the intercom
Endless, till one day it’s gone
And like the rain came Gibraltar’s way
The roof above the plains quickly melts away
Here, take me I’m yours
Do as you please
Take me, I’m yours
Remember the scene?
The narrow escape from in between troops closing in
Shouting, “Stop right where you are or we’ll shoot!”
Or we’ll shoot
Well here, take me I’m yours
Do as you please
Take me, I’m yours
Do as you please
Do as you please
Take me, I’m yours
