Sing a song of freedom — write it in the sky
A pocket full of secrets — a belly full of lies
A fiction to believe in, created then denied
Tricks and mirror — sleight of hand
Hula hula — promised land
Rhyme and reason — smoke and fire
Hula hula — truth and lie
Hail the gift of memory in this fifty-second state
Who sold me down the river and shafts me while he waits
Outside the gates of Eden, star-spangled and so late
Tricks and mirror [etc repeated]
