This Is Not America (with Pat Metheny Group) Lyrics


This is not America
Shala la la laA little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not AmericaBlossom fails to bloom this season
Promise not to stare
Too long
For this is not a miracleThere was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest ideaFor this is not America
This is not America
This is notSnowman melting from the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red tomorrows cloudsA little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die

For this is not AmericaThere was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest ideaFor this is not America
This is not America
This is notThis is not America
This is not
This is not America
This is not

David Bowie (born David Robert Jones on 8th January 1947 in Brixton, London, UK) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Active in six decades of popular music and frequently reinventing his music and image, Bowie is widely regarded as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. He has been cited as an influence by many musicians and is known for his distinctive voice and the intellectual depth of his work.

As a multi-instrumentalist, he is famous for playing the guitar, piano, and saxophone, but also plays the harmonica, drums, cello, marimba, bass guitar, koto, and stylophone. His first single was released in 1964, but he rose to fame with the 1969 single "Space Oddity" and the 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Subsequent albums have explored blue-eyed soul, electronica, and new wave, often pre-dating these genres' popularity or even the point at which they were defined as genres.

Bowie is one of the most influential rock musicians from the 1970s to the present. He has sold an estimated 136 million albums in his career and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In addition to his musical career, Bowie has had success as a painter, web-designer, sculptor, Broadway actor starring in The Elephant Man, and film actor starring in many films.

Bowie is also credited as being a major inspiration behind the new romantic, futurist movement, and subsequent development of electronic/electronica music.

Bowie frequently brings the worlds of high art, mime, and straight theatre to his stage acts. His most famous on-stage look was that of Ziggy Stardust; other personae include Halloween Jack, Aladdin Sane, and the Thin White Duke.
