The Seduction of Kansas

Bloodthirsty cherub choir from the cornfields you sing to me
All to the farmhouse born, majestic kansan progeny
Senator, news anchor, Superman, and Dorothy
All of the Sunday dress mothers caress your face and say
It’s the last picture show all the cowboys they get ready
For a drawn out charismatic parody of what a country thought it used to be
Ciphers of the state saw the summer of mercy
Wichita lineman, in the stadium they’re screaming
It’s you, I’m the one who loves you
It’s true, I’m the one who loves you
It’s you, I’m the one who loves you
I’m the one, I’m the one
Yeah, I’m the one
I’m the one, I’m the one
White Castle, Pizza Hut and even Applebee’s
Before the Koch brothers the first airplane factory
Skywards, always looking
What’s that bellwether indicating?
All of the Sunday dress mothers caress your face and say
It’s you, I’m the one who loves you
It’s true, I’m the one who loves you
It’s you, I’m the one who loves you
I’m the one, I’m the one
Yeah, I’m the one
It’s true, I’m the one who loves you
I’m the one
Yeah, I’m the one
It’s true
It’s true
