America (Glamour And Prestige) - Bernard Fanning

We came in through the slip road kicking up a billowing

Cloud of dust

Down on Sunset and Vine their counting all their money

On an abacus

I dived down to the bottom of the lake because the

Pressure was breaking my bones

I never felt so far from home

There’s spiv suits on space cake, Iron Men in rehab

And the rest of us

Parachuting goldmine a fortune undiscovered to the west

Of us

Black car on a dirt road picking up kids with the stars in

Their eyes

Good thing don’t need a ride

Got more than I bargained for all the glamour and prestige

In America

Such a well worn cliche

Now I’m looking like an amorous passenger

So what are you waiting for?

All that glamour and prestige

Whatever you’re waiting for

Looking like an amourous passenger

Why’d you leave me this way?

Such a well worn cliché

Left me spinning and dazed

Down on Sunset and Main
