I wouldn’t want to be like Lizzie Borden, I’d be a loyalist not take an axe to you, my revolution towards the way that things are now, is something that today may be taboo.
Like Yellowstone National Park, I hope I get visitors. I’m a precious portrait so if I start burning, will you save me like Dolley Madison?
Art thou the product of my imagination? Art thou the answer I’ve been looking for all of my life? Don’t tear me up like we’re a country in a civil war. Will we break like the South Fork Dam? Or will we stand tall like the Statue Of Liberty? Alas I’m like the ones who ask if you would leave me, is some other maiden your gold fever?
I’ll follow all the rules and regulations, just like I’m some sort of military man, and if you ever ask me who’s controlling me, I’ll just respond to you by saying “I am”.
Like Napoleon I would surrender, my reign would be over then, all in a blinking flash. If you’ll be my hero I’ll crown you emperor, president of my life too.
Art thou the product of my imagination? Art thou the answer I’ve been looking for all of my life? Don’t tear me up like we’re a country in a civil war. Will we break like the South Fork Dam? Or will we stand tall like the Statue Of Liberty? Alas I’m like the ones who ask if you would leave me, is some other maiden your gold fever?
California, eighteen hundreds, dig through the dirt there’s gold underneath. Sutter’s Mill, you’re my James Marshall, I wanna give you the rush feeling deep. Mass migration, we don’t need, just you and me is enough to discover. Still finding treasure, after all these years, one day we’ll both be together, undercover.
Art thou the product of my imagination? Art thou the answer I’ve been looking for all of my life? Don’t tear me up like we’re a country in a civil war. Will we break like the South Fork Dam? Or will we stand tall like the Statue Of Liberty? Alas I’m like the ones who ask if you would leave me, is some other maiden your gold fever?
