Lyrics

Page 13. America is made up of many different cultures. In the Midwest, you gotta be tough. They say we were headed for a storm. Ha! Ha! Ha! 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 five foot ten, even without the high heels. She had flowing, natural-grown 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, but a chill like ice. But 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. Gonna take me an Icon tonight. Hello, good night to y'all. Nice to be here in Minneapolis, 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'd she come from? Minnesota. Minnesota. Minnesota. Minnesota. Feel that power cord slam against the wall. As we walk in Minneapolis, St. Paul. That's where in my life it's flowed. 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. Minnesota. Minnesota. Minnesota. 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. Minnesota. 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.
