This Is Not America Songtext
von David Bowie with Pat Metheny Group

This is not America
Sha-la-la-la-la

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
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la

This is not America (no)
This is not
Sha-la-la-la-la


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
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la

This is not America (no)
This is not
Sha-la-la-la
This is not America (no)
This is not

This is not America (no)
This is not
Sha-la-la-la
