American Gods

[bnewman]

Only a few lines of Paul Simon's "American Tune" needed to be changed to make it about Neil Gaiman's novel.

lyrics and music by Paul Simon, adapted by Benjamin Newman

And I dreamed I was dying...

> I dreamed that I hung nine nights upon the tree

> I saw what no man should see, I knew who I had to be

And I dreamed I was flying...

> And high up above the storm I clearly heard

> The voice of a thunderbird, but I couldn't make out the words

And I dreamed I was flying...

 

  We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

> We play against the odds

  We come in the age's most uncertain hour

> We are American gods
