5. Anywhere But America
This sinners' at the Pearly Gates
With a one way ticket
And a carry-on case
He shrugs and smiles
Okay, he says
Anywhere but America
He blends into a crowd of passengers
I make a vow right then and there
One day I'll go
Where
Tell everyone the difference
Between right and wrong
Ten thousand miles away
The day begins for half-a-million strong
This is where I belong

Nothing sooner said got done
So keep those cards and letters coming
I sign them all
Wish I was there
Far away from America
I'll throw the first punch and the last out
I'm the baby and the bathwater
All washed up on some far shore
Where no one's heard about America
Show everyone how bridges burn
And lines are drawn
Half a world away
I'll walk these winding streets
from dusk to dawn
This is where I belong

Put the whole Third World to rights
And when you're done
There's time enough for battles won
My lessons learned
And I'll be gone
This is where I belong

"Steam powered fantasia with a touch of the wild, wild west and one of a kind mechanical instruments. If Melies had been a songwriter instead of film director, his music would probably have sounded something like this."
