Can anybody hear me?
Can anybody see?
A murderous star chasing the sky
Tipping their hat to eternity
Maybe none of this ever happened anyway
And it was all just for fun
Maybe there's a God in heaven
And maybe there's not
Waiting for America to drop the gun
There's fires in the canyons, in the hills of L.A.
Burning like a river right down to the freeway
And I love it when you lie to me
And you see right through
Love it when you lie to me
'Cause every word is true
So tell me that you want me
Pour it out like sand
Take it to the deep end of the Rio Grande
Baby, I've built castles in the sand
But I consider myself one of the lucky ones
Oh yeah, such a fortunate son
Waiting for America to drop the gun
Underneath the freeway
It's a cold day in the sun
There's an old man dressed like John Wayne
Looking for someone
But I love it when you lie to me
You see right through
Love it when you lie to me
'Cause every word is true
So tell me that you want me
When the day is done
I'm waiting for America
You take the future
And I'll take the past
Even though we know
Neither one is gonna last
When you're old and weary
Time goes so fast
Sometimes I dream I'm flying
Begging Mother Nature for one last chance

(Give me one more chance)
Yeah

Some people dream of castles in the sand
Waiting for America

We all come to America
