The American Lite Songtext
von Julian Cope

I gonna douse myself in holy water
Got the fever inside
I gonna drown myself in holy water
Got the fever, it won′t die

In fact my love is stronger now
And my life is leaving jail
She's got a love, it′s getting wide and bright
Concentric circles running to the American light
It's calling out now

Ha-ha, he-he
Take that, baby
Ha-ha, he-he
And then she zaps me with her keen, keen love

And then I rinse myself in holy water
Watch the fever rise
I wanna live beside my favourite daughter, yeah
My American light


Sometimes I write a new song and I'm looking for approval
Does it sound like the elevators
Will it sound more of the boss who says

(We can′t come to the phone right now but if you
Leave your name and number, we′ll probably get back to you)
Probably get back to you

I stand outside
I put on my best phoney American accent
I cry "Let me in, let me in"

Ha-ha, he-he
Take that, baby
Ha-ha, he-he
And then she zaps me with her keen, keen love

Oh, I will drown myself in holy water
I watch this fever rise
And I will turn my face to watch the princess moon
Raising high above queen mother Earth
Take my life, take my life


That my love is stronger now
Have lovers ever been before
Quell nation spiral dances beating time
Concentric circles running to the American light
It's calling out now

Concentric circles running to the American light
Concentric circles running to the American light
Concentric circles running to the American light
Concentric circles running to the American light
Concentric circles running to the American light
Concentric circles running to the American light
Circles running to the American light
Concentric circles running to the American light
Concentric circles running to the American light...
