When we started migrating
Across this great land
Should have known we'd never cross 
Dancing hand in hand
 
You were my consolation
My booby prize
Fat chance I'd ever see 
The horizon in your eyes 
 
Went to see the Statue of Liberty
Feeling we'd have nothing to prove
And though they call it a Statue of Liberty
I swear I saw it move

Yeah, when you showed me that Statue of Liberty
I believed I heard a song I could sing 
But it's only a Statue of Liberty 
Not the real thing 
Not the real thing 
Not the real thing 
 
Developing the footage 
At the finish of the trip 
In retrospect it's obvious
What made the camera slip 
 
At a malt shop in a booth 
You offered me this charm
I knew you had no earthly reason
To do me any harm 
 
Went to see the Statue of Liberty
Feeling we'd have nothing to prove
And though they call it a Statue of Liberty
I swear I saw it move
I swear I saw it move
Yeah, when you showed me that Statue of Liberty
I believed I heard a song I could sing 
But it's only a Statue of Liberty 
Not the real thing 
Not the real thing 
Not the real thing 
Not the real thing 
Not the real thing
