"Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together""I've got some real estate here in my bag"So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner piesAnd we walked off to look for America

    @ IHoldVertigo - doesn't it turn ironic by the end, as everyone is lost and sick and doesn't know why, they've all come to look for America and the America of the Dream doesn't exist, like the sweetness of the opening verses it's too good to be true? S&G were surprisingly political!

    seems to me to be a song about how exciting and overwhelming the American Dream is
