My America

April 27, 2009

I just love this song. It’s also one of the few songs where Nina really lets her voice lash out - and send shivers down your spine. Normally, she’s all bedroomy and sleepy sexy (she’s SO beautiful), but this is one of those songs recorded after drinking 5 cups of coffee. Refreshing.

If you’re one of those few cocky and arrogant chocking-the-eagle Americans, there’s a lesson in here.

Darling, darling
The moon went out tonight
And I’m caught like a doe in your headlights
Oh yeah, alright
I’m yours to knock around
I’m a little too starstruck to wanna fight

Oo-e-oo-ee, it’s a cold-hearted world
Oo-e-oo-ee-oo, I’m gonna be your girl
It’s a little too late to cry
You’re my America

Not quite snow white
It came down all night
And put a filter of ash on the sunrise
Oh yeah, alright
Move a little bit closer
Lay your big dirty hands on my innocence

Oo-e-oo-ee, it’s a cold-hearted world
Oo-e-oo-ee-oo, I’m gonna be your girl
It’s just a little too late to cry
You’re my America

Ooh, heaven laughs at us now, baby
But we’ll be shooting it down, honey
It’s a little too late to hope and pray for a miracle
You’re my America

Hey Rock star!
You’re my America
