queen of the usa

The Thompson Twins

I heard Mary knockin' at my door
Said she was cold and could she sleep on my floor
I offered her my crown of thorns
She said no thanks mister I'm not that poor

You may think it funny
You may think it strange
But she's the queen of the U.S.A.
She don't need the money
She don't need the fame
She's the queen of the U.S.A.

She wore a leather jacket that smelled of paradise
She had a tattoo of the Stars and Stripes
I know that she would die to save the world
Oh yeah that Mary was no ordinary girl

You may think it funny
You may think it strange
But she's the queen of the U.S.A.
She ain't got much money
But she's got plenty to say
Yeah she's the queen of the U.S.A.

She wrapped me up in black perfume
Took me to the playground of the chosen few
Said don't ask me about the meaning of life
I can only dig it on a real dark night

You may think it funny
You may think it strange
But she's the queen of the U.S.A.
She don't need your money
She don't need the fame
'Cause she's the queen of the U.S.A.
Hey the U.S.A.
She's the queen of the U.S.A.
She ain't got much money
She's got plenty to say
She's the queen of the U.S.A.
