Styx - Miss America lyrics

written by james young Lead vocals by james young You were the apple of the public's eye as you cut the ribbon at the local mall A mirage for both you and us. how can it be real? We love your body in that photograph, your home state sure must be proud The queen of the united states, or have you lost your crown Well aren't you miss america Don't you miss america Won't you miss america Our love Well are you really who we think you are Or does your smile seem to wear you down Is the girl who you once were screaming jump out And the dream that you must live - a disease for which there is no cure This roller coaster ride you're on won't stop to let you off Well aren't you miss america Don't you miss america Won't you miss america Our love Miss america, miss america Miss america, miss america Well it's true just take a look - the cover sometimes makes the book And the judges, do 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 Well aren't you miss america Don't you miss america Won't you miss america Our love
