[00:08.35] I'm a Russian Jew American
[00:10.91] Impersonating African Jamaican What I want to be is an Indian
[00:16.76] I'm gonna be a cowboy in the end
[00:20.90] I guess I bought a gun
[00:23.38] because it impresses all the litle girls I see
[00:30.46] and then they all wanna sleep with me
[00:32.43] Oh whre did we disappear
[00:35.66] into the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end
[00:38.62] Where these people who impersonate our friends
[00:45.02] Say come again come again come again
[00:54.04] Into the dark Italian underground
[00:56.50] with disco lights and disco sounds and skinny
[01:00.78] girls who drink champagne
[01:03.10] Then they take me on their knees again,
[01:06.04] and pull me up and out the door
[01:08.83] past railway cars and tranny-whores
[01:11.83] And mornings spreading out across the feathered thighs of angels
[01:17.91] Oh were did we disappear to
[01:22.30] the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end
[01:28.98] Will they try to get you out to pull you in
[01:36.27] And all these people, they've been? come again
[02:05.94] In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue
[02:11.02] In 1493 he came home across the deep blue sea
[02:16.86] In 1494 he did it with the girl next door
[02:22.53] In 1495 he barely made it out alive
[02:28.94] In 1964 these sailors left me out the door
[02:35.19] In 1970 some people got their hands on me
[02:41.92] Now I am the king of everything
[02:43.74] I am the king of nothing now
[02:47.36] I am the king of everything
[02:51.11] I am the king of nothing
[02:53.16] Oh where did we disappear
[02:56.54] to the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end Where these people
[03:05.10] who impersonate our friends Say come again come again come
[03:13.28] come again Oh where did we disappear
[03:18.38] to the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end When they try to push you out to get you in
[03:28.34] and all these people who impersonate our friends Say come again come again come
[03:43.57] come again come again come again
