Mark Knopfler
Just Like the USA
[Verse 1]
Stuck in my beat suede shoes I can't wait
Oh, what a state to be in
I need her heart and get a Jack-jones for my sins

[Pre-Chorus]
She's gonna ditch that shining sick machine
And be speeding straight my way

[Chorus]
But I'm churning in neutral
Turning in a circle
Just like the USA

[Verse 2]
Secret is silver, it's to shine and never simply survive
Don't swallow substitutes and never see second prize
'Cause I know that my might could change my mind, yeah
And I'm told that by rights its not my find

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd be a tribute to temptation
In its glory and its grave

[Chorus]
But I'm churning in neutral
Turning in a circle
Just like the USA
[Verse 2]
Secret is silver, it's to shine and never simply survive
And don't swallow substitutes and never see second prize
'Cause I know that my might could change my mind, yeah
And I'm told that by rights it's not my find

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd be a tower to your highest hopes
That no southern star could sway

[Chorus]
But I'm churning in neutral
Turning in a circle
Just like the USA

[Bridge]
I hear those rhyming bells and heed the words they say
With a string of diamelles I'll steal her heart away

[Verse 2]
'Cause I know that my might could change my mind, yeah
And I'm told that by rights its not my find

[Pre-Chorus]
And in my star-bangled sailor suit
I'd be the pioneer by day
[Chorus]
But I'm churning in neutral
Turning in a circle
Just like the USA
Churning, churning
Turning in a circle
Just like the USA
