The Midnight - America 2 (2018)

The Midnight - America 2

Verse-1:
I made my home in a ten-ton bomb
And I was so happy with 28 years of free fallin’
Ah, but now it’s all guts and I’m bawlin'
She was born in a tenement walk-up
With shit for nerves, you know she never learned to talk to adults
She said "Everything's easier in here"

Pre-Chorus-1:
Like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cash
When the music is through, no she don’t look back

Chorus:
I’ve come to look for America too

Verse-2:
All I ever wanted was a spot in the mountains
With an A-frame cabin and nobody counting our days
Or cursing or praising our 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?

Pre-Chorus-1:
Like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cash
When the music is through, no she don’t look back

Chorus:
I’ve come to look for America too

Pre-Chorus-2:
And we stole the car on the 4th of July
I pawned my guitar and we drove through the night

Chorus:
I’ve come to look for America too

Bridge:
(Woah, woah)
(I’ve come to look for America too, woah, woah, woah
I've come to look for America too)

Pre-Chorus-1:
Like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cash
When the music is through, no she don’t look back

Chorus:
I’ve come to look for America too (woah)

Pre-Chorus-2:
And we stole the car on the 4th of July
I pawned my guitar and we drove through the night

Chorus:
I’ve come to look for America too (woah, woah, woah)
I’ve come to look for America too (woah, woah, woah)
I’ve come to look for America too (woah)
