You got the top down and a pretty girl
a cigarette and a bag of pearls
but you were too far gone

All of  your films and your factories
providing dreams to the whole country
but you were too far gone

America, America
All of your wildest dreams
still flicker on the screen

And it all ends in Michigan
Your friends bring cameras to your prison

None of us ever know the words to say
and so we look until we look away
you were too far gone
