Heart Of America Lyrics by The Colourfield

Deception

1987

The sun spangled morning
That wakes up the city
With sidewalks all glitter and gold
I sit on the edge of my bed
Hoping that something
Will take me down to tinsel town road
And I dream of the heart of America
Where the fires are burning so bright
And I scream for the heart of America
With my eyes open wide and a yearning inside
Yesterday the thorn of misfortune was bleeding you
And nobody shared your ups and your downs
But tomorrow, somebody somewhere will love you
'Cos the love that you lost
Is the luck that we found
Let's go find the heart of America
We'll storm the jailhouse and throw down the keys
Let's do what they do in the picture shows
Tear down the fences
Put up a playground
And set ourselves free
The dreamboat a sailing out yonder
Is calling us
We can't stay afloat any longer
We're falling
Let's be dreamers and sail upon it
Let's believe and live out our promises
Deep in the heart of America
Where it sparkles with neon and stars
We'll keep reaching out for a miracle
'Cos no one will care or know who we are
Let's go find the heart of America
We'll storm the jailhouse and throw down the keys
Let's do what they do in the picture shows
Tear down the fences
Put up a playground
And set ourselves free
I dream of the heart of America
Where the fires are burning so bright
I scream on the heart of America
With my eyes open wide and a yearning inside
