The Midnight – America 2 lyrics
[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)
