1492 - Counting Crows

[00:07.90]I'm a Russian Jew American
[00:10.03]Impersonating African Jamaican
[00:12.40]
[00:13.84]What I want to be is an Indian
[00:17.21]I'm gonna be a cowboy in the end
[00:21.80]I guess I bought a gun
[00:23.80]because it impresses all the little girls I see
[00:27.75]and then they all wanna sleep with me
[00:32.01]Oh where did we disappear
[00:35.51]into the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end
[00:42.31]Where these people who impersonate our friends
[00:46.74]
[00:47.68]Say come again come again come again
[00:54.04]Into the dark Italian underground
[00:55.98]with disco lights and disco sounds and skinny
[01:01.67]girls who drink champagne
[01:03.60]Then they take me on their knees again
[01:06.79]and pull me up and out the door
[01:08.98]past railway cars and tranny-whores
[01:12.10]And mornings spreading out across the feathered thighs of angels
[01:19.04]
[01:19.86]Oh were did we disappear to
[01:21.92]
[01:22.67]the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end
[01:26.42]
[01:29.04]Will they try to get you out to pull you in
[01:33.45]
[01:34.95]And all these people' they've been? come again
[01:39.48]

[02:11.73]
[02:12.43]In 1493 he came home across the deep blue sea
[02:16.39]In 1493 he came home across the deep blue sea

[02:28.27]
[02:28.97]In 1964  busting out the door
[02:34.91]In 1970 some people got their hands on me
[02:41.16]Now I am the king of everything
[02:43.22]I am the king of nothing now
[02:46.91]I am the king of everything
[02:49.10]I am the king of nothing
