My America - Elisa

My America was fun

Met her in front of the mirror

She was trying to look pretty

So her daddy would say something

Something different than just laughing

Something better than not looking

Something sweeter than the screams

When they were making love or fighting

And there inside my eyes

I saw beyond my face

I live another life

Let’s see a different fate

And there between the lines

Thought I could run away

I wrapped up all my nights

And learnt from my mistakes

Still somehow I feel safe

Safe

Safe

It was my time for revolution

I’ve got time for revolution

I’ve got place for revolution

There’s no place like revolution

A human kind of revo-, revo-

I’ve got time for revolution

I’ve got place for revolution

There’s no place like revolution

Revo-, revo-

My America was baby

So I could get lost in it

And then America got darkest

So no one could even find me

My America was friendly

But it had no arms to save me

My America got lonely

When I left my dreams behind me

And there between the lines

Started to dream away

I wrapped up all my nights

And learnt from my mistakes

Still somehow I feel safe

Safe

Safe

This was my time for revo-, for revo-

I’ve got time for revolution

I’ve got place for revolution

There’s no place like revolution

A human kind of revo-, revo-

I’ve got time for revolution

I’ve got place for revolution

There’s no place like revolution

A human kind of revo-, revo-

My own kind, my own kind my

My own kind, my own kind my

My own kind, my own kind my

My own kind, my own

My America was gold

Way before it was called golden

Boys and girls were wearing stones

And my favourite one was turquoise

A perfect yellow light

Shouting trough my window curtains

Didn’t need no DOP

My film had to be my whole life

My film had to be my life

Life

Life

This was my time for revo-, revo-

I’ve got time for revolution

I’ve got place for revolution

There’s no place like revolution

A human kind of revo-, revo-

I’ve got time for revolution

I’ve got place for revolution

There’s no place like revolution

A human kind of revo-, revo-

My own kind, my own kind my

My own kind, my own kind my

My own kind, my own kind my

My own kind, my own kind my
