This Is Not America - The Song Words and music by David Bowie and Pat Metheny. This is not America, sha la la la la A little piece of you The 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 This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la la] Snowman melting From the inside Falcon spirals To the ground [This could be the biggest sky] So bloody red Tomorrow's clouds A little piece of you The little piece 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 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 This is not america, no, this is not This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la]
