XTC : Statue Of Liberty [Music : Lyrics]

The first time I saw you standing in the water
You must have been all of a thousand feet tall
Nearly naked, unashamed like Herod's daughter
Your love was so big it made New York look small
You've been the subject of so many dreams
Since I climbed your torso

Oh, my statue of liberty, whoo-who
Impaled on your hair, what do you do-do-do to me, whoo-who

I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book
A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt
A billion lovers with their cameras stop to look
And in my fantasy I sail beneath your skirt
You've been the subject of so many dreams
Since I climbed your torso

Oh, my statue of liberty, whoo-who
Impaled on your hair, what do you do-do-do to me, whoo-who

Say
Pop me

Oh, my statue of liberty, whoo-who
Impaled on your hair, what do you do-do-do to me, whoo-who
Say, oh, my statue of liberty, whoo-who
Impaled on your hair, what do you do-do-do to me, whoo-who

Liberty
Liberty
Liberty
