America 2 (Explicit) - The Midnight
Lyrics by:Tim McEwan/Tyler Lyle
Composed by:Tim McEwan/Tyler Lyle
I made my home in a ten-ton bomb
And I was so happy with twenty-eight years of free falling
Ah but now it's all guts and I'm bawlin'
And she was born in a tenement walk-up
With **** for nerves you know she never learned to talk to adults
She said everything's easier in here
And like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cash
When the music is through no she don't look back
I've come to look for America too
All I ever wanted was a spot in the mountains
With an A-frame cabin and nobody counting our days
Or cursing or praising on name
But the best we could do is to enter the void
Like a wide-eyed child waking up to the noise of East Harlem
Don't they see that we're starving
Like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cash
When the music is through no she don't look back
I've come to look for America too
And we stole the car on the 4th of July
I pawned my guitar and we drove through the night
I've come to look for America too
Whoa-oh whoa oh
I've come to look for America too
Whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh
I've come to look for America too
Like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cash
When the music is through no she don't look back
I've come to look for America too
Whoa-oh
And we stole the car on the 4th of July
I pawned my guitar and we drove through the night
I've come to look for America too
Whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh
I've come to look for America too
Whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh
I've come to look for America too
Whoa-oh
