Songtexte Crawling in the USA (soundcheck) - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

I thought I would go to the sea and shrink down very tiny
And slide inside the telephone wire that runs under the briny
Till I found there is a way of crawling to the U.S.A.

You had better not go too far
Will those people will ever serve it?
You don′t know who they are
Crawling to the U.S.A.

Saw it late one night on a secret channel
(Crawling to the U.S.A.)
It's farther on along the tunnel
(Crawling to the U.S.A.)
It′s way beyond the final station
That's the one they never mention

You had better not go too far
Will those people will ever serve it?
You don't know who they are
Crawling to the U.S.A.

You don′t have to pay them that much
(Crawling to the U.S.A.)
You had better bring your lunch
(Crawling to the U.S.A.)
It′s undercover, around the houses
Up your skirt and down your trousers

You had better not go too far
Will those people will ever serve it?
You don't know who they are
Crawling to the U.S.A.

Now all the famous people who have [Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Everybody is on their knees
Except the Russians and the Chinese

You had better not go too far
Will those people will ever serve it?
You don′t know who they are
Crawling to the U.S.A.
