"America (She Can't Say No)"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

Follow the road
Swallow a snake
Find shoes in the corner
Run away
We had a nightmare, go
I'm losing my person
I'm only talking
But look at me, I'm in bed
I'm asleep, I'm a mess, at my hair
Follow the road
Swallow a snake
Find shoes in the corner
Run away
No more backs
She can't say America, can't say no, stand up
She can't stand up, bang
She's afraid, I can't say, I can't say
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no
It was a funeral, mine
He was doing it under the stars
And I was crying again
Run through with a sword
Simultaneously, at the same time
No more backs
She can't say America, can't say no, stand up
She can't stand up, bang
She's afraid, I can't say, I can't say
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no more backs
She can't say America, can't say no, stand up
She can't stand up, bang
She's afraid, I can't say, I can't say
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no
No more backs
Say no
Stand up, stand up
I'm afraid I'm a mess
So, put this right
What's it look like?
I can't say it
I won't tell you, she's dead
Follow the road
Swallow a snake
Find shoes in the corner
Run away
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no

Don't worry, dance in the road.
