Erica America

Saint Etienne · Good Humor [1998]

Hair in curls

Not quite as tall as the other girls

I'd ran away from the laughter upstairs

Wear high heels and I cut my hair

Try to conceal

So tired of their small town games

Whistle a tune of "A Horse With No Name"

Hang around by the stadium

Drinking wine like a Bowery bum



Erica let's go out tonight

Staying out till the morning light

Erica let's go out tonight

Everything's gonna be alright



Diamond Joe

He took my watch and my stereo

I wished I hadn't got a permanent wave

Can't show my face at the town arcade

Can't stand that place anyway

Tired of their small town games

Whistle a tune of "I Gotta See Jane" yeah

Read the stars of an Aries girl

Wear the crown in another world



Erica let's go out tonight

Staying out till the morning light

Erica let's go out tonight

Everything's gonna be alright



Tired of their small town games

Whistle a tune of "I Gotta See Jane" yeah

Hang around by the stadium

Drinking wine like a Bowery bum



Erica let's go out tonight

Staying out till the morning light

Erica let's go out tonight

Everything's gonna be alright
