Lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame

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
She's gonna ditch that shining, sick machine
And be speeding straight my way
But I'm churning in neutral, turning in a circle
Just like the usa

The secret is silver, it's to shine and never simply survive
And don't swallow substitutes and never see second prize
'Cos I know that my might could change my mind
And I'm told that by rights it's not my find
I'd be a tribute to temptation in it's glory and it's grave
But I'm churning in neutral, turning in a circle
Just like the usa

The secret is silver, it's to shine and never simply survive
And don't swallow substitutes and never see second prize
'Cos I know that my might could change my mind
And I'm told that by rights it's not my find
I'd be a tower to your highest hopes
That no southern star could sway
But I'm churning in neutral, turning in a circle
Just like the usa

I hear those rhyming bells and heed the words they say
And with a string of diamelles I'll steal her heart away

'Cos I know that my might could change my mind
And I'm told that by rights it's not my find
In my star-bangled sailor suit
I'd be the pioneer by day
But I'm churning in neutral, turning in a circle
Just like the usa
