An Englishman In The Usa

rambling 'round your city streetsI feel no earth beneath

my feetand I feel my lifeis crumbling into,

into the seabut I can't swimthree thousand milesso

all I have is lonely nightsI'm an englishmanlost in the usa

and it's a long way back homesuch a long way back homeand

I'm wonderingwhere am I gonna goline's dead -- operator's

goneand now the fear is coming onand I hear my lovewondering

where have I goneso I'm gambling bucks for poundsyeah,

but lady luckjust won't come aroundfor an englishmanwho is stuck in the usa

and it's a long way back homesuch a long way back homeand

I'm wonderingwill I ever get away



so here I am and there are youwhere wishful thoughtsdon't

serve no useand all the worrying in the worldwon't

pull me throughso I think of love thatmight have beenand

an airline ticketthat's like a dreamfor an englishmanwho is lost in the usa

such a long way back homesuch a long way back homeand

I'm wonderingwill I ever get to go

and I'm waiting for youto take me home
