beautiful*She doesn't eat, she doesn't sleepFor if she slept then she would dream about this:A place where she'd be treated with respect and sympathy.The American girlSet her sights on the old world,Thinking in the old world she'd find honesty.And so she blew in like a breath of fresh air,Captivating all around her;And as she passed she left a trail of heartbreak in her wake.The American girlCut her teeth on the old world,All at once the old world hers upon a plateAnd fascinated by her faceThe old world sealed her fate.She felt she'd come home across the sea,This was where she was meant to be.She didn't understand the potency of envySo ingrained in the cultureAnd soon she found contempt had grown from her familiarity.She doesn't eat, she doesn't sleep,She lies awake and wonders how this happened.The American girlStubbed her toe on the old worldAnd the old world's unforgiving rigidity.Well times got hardAnd talk came cheap;She found that finallySomething wasn't right across the sea...Now she's stateless in all but her memory.
