Erica America Lyrics

Erica America

Fremont Street lies empty

A cleaning vehicle

Drew a line across my camera's lens

I whispered our names: Erica and Jens

Erica America

They demolished the Frontier Casino

And the day after the air smelled like popcorn and ladies' perfume

Sinatra had his shit figured out, I presume

Erica America

Erica America

Summer never ends here

I said to myself as if that would make things better

Summer is exhausting me with it's exhaust fumes and empty promises

And promises of no more empty promises

Erica America

I wish I'd never met you

Like I wish I'd never tasted wine

Or tasted it from lips that weren't mine

Now every drop tastes more bitter over time

[Saxophone solo]

Erica America

Erica America

I wish I'd never met you

Like I wish I'd never tasted wine

Or tasted it from lips that weren't mine
