lyrics

What if we were wrong
Maybe no surprise
Sometimes we are all alone in ways that can’t be recognised
Like Howard Palfrey Jones that sad July
Staring out the window at the sky
Always leaving everything behind

I am not American
The generous and friendly kind
Find me in the shadowland

Find me where the past won’t reach me wearing your disguise

Reap just what we sow
Don’t make me laugh
Consequences only for the ones who never leave the path
Deep inside the wisdom of Wayang
Those all-night shadow-puppet shows describe (how we’re)
Always leaving everything behind

I am not American
The generous and friendly kind
Find me in the shadowland

Find me where the past won’t reach me wearing your disguise

The messages I sent
The ones that you received
The ones that landed perfectly; the ones you never could believe
Another million, million miles to go
And every one is evidence to show (how we’re)
We’re always leaving everything behind

I am not American
The generous and friendly kind
Find me in the shadowland

Find me where the past won’t reach me wearing your disguise
