David Bowie/Pat Metheny: This Is Not America

This is not America
shalalalala.

Little piece of you
a little peace in me will die.
This is not a miracle
for this is not America.

Blossom fails to bloom this season
promise not to stare too long.
This is not America
for this is not the miracle.

There was a time
a storm that blew so pure.
For this could be the biggest sky
and I could have the faintest idea.
For this is not America
shalalalala

shalalalala
shalalalala.
This is not America
no
this is not
shalalalala.

Showman melting from the inside
falcon spirals to the ground.
This could be the biggest sky
so bloody red tomorrows' clouds.

A little piece of you
a little peace in me will die.
This could be a miracle
for this is not America.

There was a time
a wind that blew so young.
For this could be the biggest sky
and I could have the faintest idea.
For this is not a miracle
shalalalala

shalalalala
shalalalala.
This is not America
no
this is not
shalalala.
This is not America
no
this is not.
This is not America
no
this is not
shalalala.
