America - Live from Spotify House SXSW ’16 Lyrics by Car Seat Headrest
Spotify Sessions
2016
[Verse 1] You can drive across the whole thing In four days If you really wanted Leaving custom thank you notes In all the houses You ever haunted In this whole solar system We've only met one type of life It's the living kind of life And it's not one I recognize [Refrain] America America America America America America America America [Verse 2] I said "excuse me" to the ocean Because I thought I had got in its way At first, I didn't think it heard me But thеn I saw it wave You can spend evеry living moment thinking How can I get out alive? But is it really then, can you really call it Hey man, just shut up and drive I thought we'd be on the road all night When that ice storm hit in Texas And when we pulled into the gas station It was like a frozen oasis [Pre-Chorus] Oh, sweet mama, does that neon sign shine for me? Is there a street where my name glows all through the night? [Chorus] And I've never read (America) And I've never been (America) And I never drove (America) And I've never seen (America) Never been (America) I've never been (America) I just never went (America) All I want to see (America) [Verse 3] All my fantasies are faking orgasms They're only in it for the money I made up for them I trade in ideas, opinions, and artistry And my face is on every dollar This is heaven but heaven is here (This is heaven but heaven is here) This is heaven but heaven is hard (This is heaven but heaven is hard) Because your lover is listening to music you don't know And you're tangled up in the headphone wires You know our problems, they don't end Just because we get boy/girlfriends Is this your salvation plan? Is this your salvation plan? [Pre-Chorus] There's only one type of love It's the loving kind of love But when you're mad at me it's the end of times And I'm mad at you all the other times [Chorus] Have I ever really (been in love)? I guess I've never really (been in love) Have I ever really (been in love)? Not in the way I'm thinking (been in love) Haven't really (been in love)? No, I've never really (been in love) Oh, have I ever really (been in love)? No [Bridge] Real life's a mess But at least you're not paying rent You've been making it, maybe even breaking even You oughta be content It doesn't make sense You're still sitting on the fence When the yard is yours And it was money well spent [Chorus] And I've never read And I've never seen And I never spoke And I've never been To America America Democracy Biographies [Outro] Civil rights! Basically Bright lights! Living in the city Second prize in a beauty pageant 200 dollars, this is life, this is your life! America! (America) America! (America) This is heaven (America) Oh, this is heaven! (America) This is the place (America) This is the place! (America) This is the place! (America) Oh, this is the place! (America)
