Under ghetto lights at Castle Solemite
The record skipped in a burned out basement
Freedom so thick I could taste it
But that was years ago
And now our world's gone wrong
Sometimes I still have the feeling
Hear the ghosts of a dead band's song
We were blown apart
If we make it to sunrise
The day will bring a compromise
A place to make a brand new start
Somewhere there's blue skies
And no one you love ever dies
America you're breaking my heart
Over plate tectonics flying to Summer Sonic
Stranded in a pastel sunset
Moment that I'Il never forget
But that was years ago before the picket fence
Plans and vans don't last forever
Turbulence in earthquake weather
Change slipped inside I had no place to hide
And I looked down and closed my eyes
I know who killed me but I got no evidence
Just a sixth sense it doesn't make sense
We were blown apart
If we make it to sunrise
The day will bring a compromise
A place to make a brand new start
Somewhere there's blue skies
And no one you love ever dies
America you're breaking my heart
Operator that's not the way it feels
I've been here before, this time it's for real
America, America
If we make it to sunrise
The day will bring a compromise
A place to make a brand new start
Somewhere there's blue skies
And no one you love ever dies
America you're breaking my heart
