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 little girls I see 
and then they all wanna sleep with me 
Oh where 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-whores 
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
