COUNTING CROWS lyrics : "1492"

I'm a Russian Jew American

Impersonating African Jamaican What I want to be is an Indian


I'm gonna be a cowboy in the end


I guess I bought a gun

because it impresses all the litle girls I see


and then they all wanna sleep with me


Oh whre did we disappear

into the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end


Where these people who impersonate our friends


Say come again come again come again

Into the dark Italian underground


with disco lights and disco sounds and skinny


girls who drink champagne

Then they take me on their knees again,


and pull me up and out the door


past railway cars and tranny-!@^%s

And mornings spreading out across the feathered thighs of angels


Oh were did we disappear to


the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end

Will they try to get you out to pull you in


And all these people, they've been? come again


In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue

In 1493 he came home across the deep blue sea


In 1494 he did it with the girl next door


In 1495 he barely made it out alive

In 1964 ???? busting out the door


In 1970 some people got their hands on me


Now I am the king of everything

I am the king of nothing now


I am the king of everything


I am the king of nothing

Oh where did we disappear


to the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end Where these people


who impersonate our friends Say come again come again come

come again Oh where did we disappear


to the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end When they try to push you out to get you in


and all these people who impersonate our friends Say come again come again come

come again come again come again
