Alina Simone - Country Of Two lyrics

A bottle rocket shot out of a backstreet lot Trucks up on blocks the empties knocking around In the back as we rush straight through the speedway After the manic landscape blur Of the flyover states Suddenly it's so clear the rest falls away And I'm back in this country of two Where'm I going where'm I coming from I've been a faceless waitress And data-collecting something Someplace off the freeway It doesn't matter what I do To pay for the days The only thing that's real The only place that's home is here in this country of two Oh, the scenery comes and the scenery goes And morning feels like the afternoon But I don't feel foreign or confused anymore In this placeless place I found with you The sound of cars comes crashing in To this gla**-walled box up on the hill But I'll never tire of the rhythm that it brings To this placeless place you found me in Oh these stars and stripes are just sickle-celled Hammer-headed sharks and we will remain apart. These stars and stripes are just sickle-celled Hammer-headed sharks and we will remain apart
