1492 Lyrics - Saturday Nights And Sunday Mornings - Counting Crows

I'm a Russian, Jew, American 

Impersonating African, Jamaican 

What I want to be is an Indian 

I'm gonna be a cowboy in the end 

I guess I bought a gun 

Because it impresses all the little girls I see 

And then they all wanna sleep with me 

Oh, where did we disappear 

Into the silence that surrounds us 

And then drowns us in the end 

Where these people who impersonate our friends 

Say come again, come again, come again 

Into the dark Italian underground 

With disco lights and disco sounds 

And skinny girls who drink champagne 

Then they take me on their knees again 

And pull me up and out the door 

Past railway cars and tranny-whores 

And mornings spreading out across 

The feathered thighs of angels 

Oh, were did we disappear 

To the silence that surrounds us 

And then drowns us in the end 

Will they try to get you out to pull you in 

And all these people, they've been, come again 

In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue 

In 1493, he came home across the deep blue sea 

In 1494, he did it with the girl next door 

In 1495, he barely made it out alive 

In 1964, [unverified] busting out the door 

In 1970, some people got their hands on me 

Now I am the king of everything 

I am the king of nothing now 

I am the king of everything 

I am the king of nothing 

Oh, where did we disappear 

To the silence that surrounds us 

And then drowns us in the end 

Where these people who impersonate our friends 

Say come again, come again, come, come again 

Oh, where did we disappear 

To the silence that surrounds us 

And then drowns us in the end 

When they try to push you out to get you in 

And all these people who impersonate our friends 

Say come again, come again, come 

Come again, come again, come again
