Styx - Miss America lyrics

As you cut the ribbon at the local mall

A mirage for both you and us

How can it be real?

We loved your body in that photograph

Your home state sure must be proud

The queen of the United States

Have you lost your crown?

Chorus: Well aren't you, Miss America

Don't you, Miss America

Won't you, Miss America our love?

Are you really who we think you are

Or does your smile seem to wear your down

Is the girl who you once were

Screaming to jump out?

Is the dream that you must live

A disease for which there is no cure

This rollercoaster ride you're on

Won't stop to let you off

Chorus: Well aren't you, Miss America

Don't you, Miss America

Won't you, Miss America our love?

Well it's true just take a look

The cover sometimes makes the book

And the judges did they ever ask

To read between your lines?

In your cage at the human zoo

They all stop to look at you

Next year what will you do

When you have been forgotten?

Chorus: Well aren't you, Miss America

Don't you, Miss America

Won't you, Miss America our love
