See America

Sleeping in a yellow cab My head against the barrier Lost 'em as we touched St. Anne Stepped from the ferry boat 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 ah Tryin' to wrack my brains But I can't think of the name Of 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 But I was green Wake me up oh wake me before Union Square Got a couple numbers to call ah Tryin' to wrack my brains But I can't think of the names Of the people at all We're off to see America We're asking for directions yes We're off to find 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 We're off to see America We're asking for directions yes We're tumbling in our chariot Ooh see America America We're off to see America
