America (Glamour And Prestige) Lyrics by Bernard Fanning

Brutal Dawn

2017

We came in through the slip road
Kickin' up a billowing cloud of dust
Down on Sunset and Vine, their counting all their money on an abacus
I dived down to the bottom of the lake
Where the pressure was breakin' my bones
I never felt so far from home
You're more than I bargained for
The glamour and prestige, America
Such a well-worn cliché
Now I'm lookin' like an amorous passenger
There’s spiv suits on space cake, Iron Men in rehab
And the rest of us
Parachutin' goldmine, a fortune undiscovered to the west of us
Black car on a dirt road pickin' up kids with the stars in their eyes
Good thing I don’t need a ride
Got more than I bargained for
For the glamour and prestige in America
Such a well worn cliché
Now I’m looking like an amorous passenger
So what are you waiting for?
All that glamour and prestige
Whatever you’re waiting for
Now I'm looking like an amorous passenger
Why’d you leave me this way?
All that glamour and prestige
Such a well worn cliché
