Title: "Miss America"
Artist: David Byrne
Album: Feelings
Release Date: 1997

I love America
Her secret’s safe with me
I know her wicked ways
The parts you never see 

Oh, Supergirl
You’ll be my supermodel
Although you have a reputation
Can I afford?
Are you above my station?
I’m not the only heart you’ve conquered 

I love America
But boy, can she be cruel
I know how tall she is
Without her platform shoes 

Oh, Supergirl
You’ll be my supermodel
Although at times it might seem awkward
Don’t run away
Oh, don’t you recognize me?
I’m not the only heart you’ve conquered 

I kissed America
When she was fleecing me
And she knows I understand
That she needs to be free 

I miss America
And sometimes she does too
And sometimes I think of her
When she is fucking you 

I love America
Siempre confiado en ti
I love America
Porque metratas a si? 

Oh, Supergirl
You’ll be my supermodel
Although your pants are ‘round your ankles
And when you’re down
I’ll be your Dirty Harry
It will be just like in the movies

Oh, Supergirl
You’ll be my supermodel
Although at times it might seem awkward
Don’t look away
I’ll be your teenage fanclub
I’m not the only heart you’ve conquered
