Jill Sobule - Statue of Liberty (Statue of Liberty Charm)

When we started migrating
Across this great land
Should have known we'd never cross
Dancing hand in hand

You were my consolation
My booby prize
Fat chance I'd ever see
The horizon in your eyes

Went to see the Statue of Liberty
Feeling we'd have nothing to prove
And though they call it a Statue of Liberty
I swear I saw it move
I swear I saw it move
Yeah, when you showed me that Statue of Liberty
I believed I heard a song I could sing
But it's only a Statue of Liberty
Not the real thing
Not the real thing
Not the real thing

Developing the footage
At the finish of the trip
In retrospect it's obvious
What made the camera slip

At a malt shop in a booth
You offered me this charm
I knew you had no earthly reason
To do me any harm

Went to see the Statue of Liberty
Feeling we'd have nothing to prove
And though they call it a Statue of Liberty
I swear I saw it move
I swear I saw it move
Yeah, when you showed me that Statue of Liberty
I believed I heard a song I could sing
But it's only a Statue of Liberty
Not the real thing
Not the real thing
Not the real thing
Not the real thing
Not the real thing
