Euromad Songtext

von T-Bone Burnett

I went euromad out on the road last fall
Between the roman churches and the german music halls
Were it not for mr gordon and his fine distillery
I might not have got this far it would be all the same to me

I started in bologna when I stepped between the lights
I thought i'd lost my charisma my life flashed between my eyes
The communists rejected me I didn't fit their plan
And anyway I must assume there anti-american

It might have been geneva in a darkened discotheque
And though I met sophia I still got it in the neck
A journalist he spied on me like I always knew they would
He wrote me off like a business trip I felt deeply misunderstood

Or maybe it was paris blazing dignity and pride
It's a city full of heiresses where I very nearly died
I woke up in the circus with a whistling in my ears
I'm ready for the antidote can you tell me what it is

I went euromad out on the road last fall
Between the roman churches and the german music halls
Were it not for mr gordon and his fine distillery
I might have never made it through this euromisery
