David Byrne - Miss America Lyrics






I love America, her secret's safe with me
And I know her wicked ways
The parts you never see

Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
Although you have a reputation
Can I afford to move above my station
I'm not the only heart you've conquered

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

Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
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

And I kissed America, when she was fleecing me
She knows I understand that she needs to be free
And I miss America and sometimes she does too
And sometimes I think of her
When she is fucking you

I love America
Yo siempre he confiado en ti (I have always trusted you)
I love America
¿Por que me tratas asi? (Why do you treat me like this?)

Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
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 super-girl, you'll be my super-model
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

  1. A.... L....

    Nothing but the best, here ...

  2. T.... C....

    Pure joy, thanks. So good it hurts.

  3. L.... S....

    What a song!

  4. E.... A....

    That's an incredible song, and a very complex video!

  5. T.... W....

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

  6. M.... A....

    This is kind of creepy...

  7. j.... m....

    He reminds me of Larry David at 1:22

  8. L.... H....

    It's a pageant.

  9. A.... O....

    Watching his videos confirms me everytime that I did a wise expense in paying for watching him play live. My god, this man should be a considered for some higher human achievement or anything in the sort. We don't know how much we'll have this entity in this very plane.

  10. P.... A....

    probably one of his most underrated songs

  11. c.... t....

    1.15 great great cunt

  12. E.... R....

    And sometimes I think of her while she is fucking you

  13. M.... E....

    I love this song. So unconventional, groovy and contagious.

  14. b.... h....

    this is a wee bit of a different edit film wise.

  15. C.... ....

    1:22 "I'll tell you later."

  16. M.... A....

    I love the song, wish the vid was a bit more subtle tho lol

    M.... A....

    What do you mean? Byrne is showing his unwaivering, unconditional love for America.

  17. R.... F....

    Huh. They didn't clean up the relevant line, they just nuked the whole verse. Disappointing.

  18. O.... A....

    This is the best kind of late 90's fever dream

  19. c.... c....

    Thanks for the 90's flashback! I've just started delving into your solo music and I'm really enjoying all these old music videos of yours. You're quickly becoming one of my favourite musicians. <3

  20. E.... ....

    Ok, I can't get pop punk David Byrne out of my head.

  21. h.... ....

  27. D.... J....

    Did she just drop half a ten strip?

  28. A.... M....

    Por fin el gran video de David barney que yo veia en mtv latino en 1997 y que amaba demasiado por su critica social. Por fin lo veo aqui, que Hermosa calidad. El sonido que los fabulosos Cadillac nunca tendran.

    A.... M....

    Andres Manosalvas recuerdo que también lo emitía el canal musical de cable MUSIC 21 a finales de los 90s.

    A.... M....

    Qué tenían que ver los Cadillacs?

  29. r.... ....

    Wow David has a wild side!

  33. N.... G....

    David Byrne with frosted tips is truly a sight to behold.

    N.... G....

    The satire was a little ham-fisted here.

    N.... G....

    And a labret!

    N.... G....

    At least he was taking the piss. I bet a lot of other artists from the period wish they could claim the same now.

    N.... G....

    He looks like Malcom with wrinkles.

  34. d.... V....

    This makes me nostalgic for the 90s.
