America Lyrics - Unrepentant Geraldines - Tori Amos

The other America 

You can find her Sunday 

Sitting by a stream 

On her own 

All alone 

The other America 

Might show up on Tuesday 

At your kitchen door 

She will ask politely 

"Is anybody home? 

Or did they all lay down 

To sleep through the now? 

And if they all lay down 

I'll be waiting for them 

At the river bed 

Once they wake from their rest" 

The other America 

Takes herself to night school 

To understand the law 

She may bring you questions 

When she finds the flaw 

"Why did they all lay down 

To sleep through the now? 

And if they all lay down 

I'll be waiting for them 

At the river bed 

Once they wake from their rest" 

We could be opening a doorway 

Globally but that's okay 

Once upon a time you had faith 

You would not be swayed 

By fools untouched by clairvoyance 

And you swore that we'd be brave 

Well, not today 

No, not today 

Because we all lay down 

To sleep through the now 

And if we all lay down 

She'll be waiting for us 

Where the rivers cross 

Once we wake from our rest 

"All the best," the Other America
