there's a statue of liberty
in your heart
a free soul, a guitar,
a bike, boots and a jack knife
living without a watch
but with an answering machine

you are looking for
a golden heart that shines in the night
the gold bracelet you gave your ex-girlfriend
is in the pawn shop
a tattoo on the arm
a tattoo of the statue of liberty

it's fantastic
statue of liberty
it's rising
statue of liberty
it's cool
statue of liberty
it's gorgeous
statue of liberty
statue of liberty

your girl looks good barefoot
she's like the statue of liberty
she's always cool and she sleeps with anybody
she walks and loves as a free spirit
tonight she'll spend the night somewhere
of course with another person

it's fantastic
statue of liberty
it's rising
statue of liberty
it's cool
statue of liberty
it's gorgeous
statue of liberty
statue of liberty

-RAP-
one two one two
have a look
life is a fussy
metamorphosis
danger at
three o'clock
at twelve o'clock
i remember
i gotta say
everything is possible
if it's good then it's good
and will come to an end
i can't walk
wearing
platform shoes
somehow
how? this way
a rocker come this far
slow low
rough whatever
each one has its own means
values are relative
and changes violent
this city
has come to a dead end
on the verge of a nervous breakdown
with my microphone
i'll scatter rhymes
all around the place
i'll do it here too
an urban minstrel
groove

rare records, jeans
and a statue of liberty T-shirt
dogs barking,
children crying and
cars always stolen

groove

it's fantastic
statue of liberty
it's rising
statue of liberty
it's cool
statue of liberty
it's gorgeous
statue of liberty
