Americana my way

I have slept on the breasts of Hollywood stars

Dared a hurricane to defy me

I have flirted with the sons of God

And punched a poet in the jaw

Americana my way

I have sailed over misty mountains

And tasted the cougar's blood

Trampled the crusty earth and horizon

Closed your lonely eyes

Americana my way

I have been blinded by gilt-edged flames

And built towers in a cliff

I have slept with all your wives

And have recruited all your sons

Americana my way

I'm in love with Judas, baby

Bubblegum wrappers, painted metal

Twisted youths stroke their backs

Sucking in their bleeding gums

I am diseased-ridden, fetus of beauty

Have brains and guts of steel

My testament, your denial

But bow to me you will
