Statue of Liberty
Pizzicato Five Lyrics

There's a statue of liberty
The idea of freedom is something that you hold dear to your soul

In your heart
It's an idea that you possess internally

A free soul, a guitar,
You believe in living life as an act of freedom, you enjoy playing a guitar

A bike, boots and a jack knife
You enjoy the sense of freedom you feel when you ride a bike. You have a rugged personality, you're not afraid of danger

Living without a watch
You are not beholden to any schedules or routine, you live in the moment

But with an answering machine
You still like having a way to receive messages

You are looking for
You're searching for something you can't quite name

A golden heart that shines in the night
You're searching for a bright, pure individual

The gold bracelet you gave your ex-girlfriend
You've parted with something that once had great meaning to you

Is in the pawn shop
You've had to part with some things in order to live and move on

A tattoo on the arm
You've had a memorable experience that you've permanently marked on your body

A tattoo of the statue of liberty
You relate the concept of freedom with the statue of liberty and have chosen to be tattooed that way

It's fantastic
This concept of freedom is amazing and worth holding onto

Statue of liberty
The statue of liberty represents freedom to you

It's rising
This sense of freedom is growing within you

It's cool
You think it's awesome

It's gorgeous
It's eye-catching

Your girl looks good barefoot
Your girlfriend epitomizes the idea of freedom

She's like the statue of liberty
Your girlfriend represents freedom to you

She's always cool and she sleeps with anybody
Your girlfriend is free-spirited and does what she wants, regardless of what others may think

She walks and loves as a free spirit
Your girlfriend embodies the idea of freedom both in her actions and in the way she loves

Tonight she'll spend the night somewhere
Your girlfriend will spend the evening with someone else

Of course with another person
It's clear that your girlfriend is not interested in being tied down

Have a look
Take a closer look, pay attention

Life is a fussy
Life is unpredictable and chaotic at times

Metamorphosis
Change is a natural part of life

Danger at three o'clock
You're prepared to face any danger that may come your way

At twelve o'clock I remember I gotta say
You remember the important things when it's time to speak

Everything is possible
You believe that anything can be accomplished if you put your mind to it

If it's good then it's good And will come to an end
If something is good it will eventually come to an end and that's okay

I can't walk wearing Somehow How? this way
You're unable to walk in certain shoes and feel uncomfortable

A rocker come this far
You're a rocker who has come this far in life

Slow low Rough whatever
You're not particular about the method, you just want to make progress

Each one has it's own means
Everyone has their own way of doing things

Values are relative
One's values may not be the same as another's, it's all relative

And changes violent This city Has come to a dead end
The city is in crisis, things are changing rapidly and it may be headed towards a dead end

On the verge of a nervous breakdown
Things are so hectic and changing so quickly that some are on the verge of an emotional breakdown

With my microphone
You're planning on using your microphone to make your voice heard

I'll scatter rhymesAll around the place
You plan on sharing your rhymes and ideas everywhere you go

I'll do it here too An urban minstrel
You see yourself as an urban poet and plan on spreading your message here as well

Rare records, jeans And a statue of liberty t-shirt
You cherish rare records and enjoy wearing jeans and the statue of liberty t-shirt to express yourself

Dogs barking, Children crying and Cars always stolen
The city is so chaotic that dogs are always barking, children are always crying and cars are always being stolen
