Shearwater - Quiet Americans lyrics

rate me

I can't help it, all the world is under

All the life is gone while you're calling up this name

Where are the Americans?

Your damn cultures, your hands and eyes that wander

Stumbling down the road

Or collapsing on parade

We're all alone in the Eastern land

Slipping in the morning, ours the only sun

From the lantern covered hills, the only light

From the day yet to begin, the only sign

Of the guns and silhouettes

The only sun, the only light

Only, only!

Done silence! We're disconnecting lives

Pull out the lightning dust

At the mention of his name

Where are the Americans?

Take the memories out, hide the evidence under

Piss on the world below

Like a dog, that knows its name

Where are the Americans?

I'm calling on the run tonight

Falling the remaining hours, the only sound

Are the bells upon the hill, the only light

Are the lanterns in the wind, the only sight

Screams the rust off the rails

The only sound, the only life

Only, only!
