The TakePage 13, America is made up of many different culturesIn the midwest, you've gotta be tough They said we were heading for a storm I'm gonna get me an icon tonight I'm gonna find me an icon tonight I'm gonna see me an icon tonight I'm gonna take me an icon tonight I met her at a meet and greet after a show in Minneapolis St. Paul She was the epitome of rock chick, long slim frame She must have been 5 foot 10 even without the high heels She had flowing natural blonde hair that came down to her waist And piercing blue eyes that gave away her Scandinavian origins She flicked her hair out of her eyes as she walked down the corridor Her smile was crisp like a warm Midwest summer But her eyes were icy cold like a dark Scandinavian winter And when she spoke there was a broodiness in her voice A warm smile, then a chill like ice Because I want you I'm gonna take you To make you feel good I'm gonna shake you And if I can't come I'm gonna fake for you But if you leave me I'm gonna break you I'm gonna fuck me an icon tonight This is the way it works I'm gonna take you, break you I'm gonna take me an icon tonight Hello, goodnight to ya'all Nice to be here in Minneapolis St. Paul Where Johnny Cash saw his Big River Then he sat down by the river and cried Everybody said stay away from that girl She's a rock and roll chick and where she comes from? Minnesota, Minnesota Minnesota in a storm Hear that power chord slam against the wall As we're rocking Minneapolis St. Paul That's where I let my life explode Then I sat down by the river and cried Put my life in overload Took a wrong turn somewhere on the road Minnesota, Minnesota Minnesota in a storm Get me an icon tonight Gonna find me an icon tonight Gonna see me an icon tonight I'm gonna take me an icon tonight Minnesota Ah ah ah And when she spoke there was a broodiness in her voice A warm smile, then a chill like ice, colder than all the snow in Minnesota Gotcha |
