Queen Of The U.S.A.

Thompson Twins · Big Trash [1989]

I heard Mary knockin' at my door

Said she was cold and could she sleep on my floor

I offered her my crown of thorns

She said no thanks mister I'm not that poor



You may think it funny

You may think it strange

But she's the queen of the U.S.A.

She don't need the money

She don't need the fame

She's the queen of the U.S.A.



She wore a leather jacket that smelled of paradise

She had a tattoo of the Stars and Stripes

I know that she would die to save the world

Oh yeah that Mary was no ordinary girl



You may think it funny

You may think it strange

But she's the queen of the U.S.A.

She ain't got much money

But she's got plenty to say

Yeah she's the queen of the U.S.A.



She wrapped me up in black perfume

Took me to the playground of the chosen few

Said don't ask me about the meaning of life

I can only dig it on a real dark night



You may think it funny

You may think it strange

But she's the queen of the U.S.A.

She don't need your money

She don't need the fame

'Cause she's the queen of the U.S.A.

Hey the U.S.A.

She's the queen of the U.S.A.

She ain't got much money

She's got plenty to say

She's the queen of the U.S.A.
