Lyrics of This Is Not America (2002 Remaster) by David Bowie,Pat Metheny
intro
This is not America
Shalalalala
verse
Little piece of you
A little peace in me will die
(This is not a miracle)
For this is not America
verse
Blossom fails to bloom this season
Promise not to stare too long
(This is not America)
For this is not the miracle
chorus
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
chorus
For this is not America
Shalalalala, shalalalala, shalalalala
chorus
This is not America
(No)
This is not
Shalalalala
verse
Showman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals to the ground
(This could be the biggest sky)
So bloody red tomorrows' clouds
verse
A little piece of you
A little peace in me will die
(This could be a miracle)
For this is not America
verse
There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea
verse
For this is not a miracle
Shalalalala, shalalalala, shalalalala
chorus
This is not America
(No)
This is not
Shalalala
This is not America
(No)
This is not
outro
This is not America
(No)
This is not
Shalalala
Writer(s): David Bowie, Patrick B. Metheny, Lyle D. Mays
