Your father nearly had a heart attack He said if you go black you know you can’t come back I was happy enough to leave him unaware But if you don’t care then baby i don’t care
We’ll hide away from all the others We never have to come back Here I wanna say something about America (Wanna make some rousing statement) But all i do is keep calling out your name (but I’m standing on the pavement, waiting here, calling out your name)
When your sister heard her little face turned She knows the future turns around our humble bed He who dares where’s the golden crown Ashes ashes baby all fall down
Leave on your bedroom light We’ll leave here tonight If I waste all my life here I could go insane We’ll run ‘til there’s no road left I won’t take a breath Til I sing out to heaven Calling out your name
