God bless America

Last night the girls were wild

I'm a slack-jawed sophisticate

Not much to look at

But that’s alright

But I don’t know why

Don’t know how it feels

You tell me that you’re star struck

I don’t know why, don’t know why

And I'm trying to keep the fire alight

But need to keep the damage down

Have to make this right

And you can be our oxygen

‘Cause I need you now

So maybe I could breathe you in?

You can make this right

Goodnight and farewell friend

We haven’t dropped

But the noose keeps tightening

So much for alibis

We stand together

Still so incriminated

I don’t know why

Don’t know how it feels

You’re dirty but you cleanse the eye

Don’t know why, don’t know why

And I'm trying to keep the fire alight

But need to keep the damage down

Have to make this right

And you can be our oxygen

‘Cause I need you now

So maybe I could breathe you in?

You can make this right

London, your streets

Won’t love me like this

They don’t love me like this

They won’t love me, love me

London, your streets

Don’t love me like this

They won’t love me like this

London, your streets

Won’t love me like this

They don’t love me like this

They won’t love me, love me

London, your streets

Don’t love me like this

They won’t love me like this

And I'm trying to keep the fire alight

But need to keep the damage down

Have to make this right

And you can be our oxygen

‘Cause I need you now

So maybe I could breathe you in?

You can make this right

God bless America
