See America

Sleeping in a yellow cab
 My head against the barrier
 Lost 'em as we touched St. Anne
 Stepped from the ferry boat there
 Looked around the terminal
 Paid the toll
 And split the fare
 Wake me up oh wake me before Union Square
 Got a couple numbers to call ah
 Tryin' to wrack my brains
 But I can't think of the name
 Of the hotel at all
 We're off to see America
 We're asking for directions yes
 We're off to see America
 We're tumbling in our chariot
 Speeding over soaking streets
 Tides of the destitute wail
 Coughing up a lung of steam
 Rise from the underground rail
 Never felt so far away
 Up 'till now
 But I was green
 Wake me up oh wake me before Union Square
 Got a couple numbers to call ah
 Tryin' to wrack my brains
 But I can't think of the names
 Of the people at all
 We're off to see America
 We're asking for directions yes
 We're off to find America
 We're tumbling in our chariot
 What a slender thread I've been clinging to
 All these cracks for me to slip into
 We're off to see America
 We're off to see America
 We're asking for directions yes
 We're tumbling in our chariot
 Ooh see America
 America
 We're off to see America
