This Is Not America [Bowie/Metheny/Mays]

(This is not America, sha, la, la, la, la)

A little piece of you
The little piece in me will die
(This is not the 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

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 the 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
