greencard baby - my american dream Lyrics

Student dorms, fire alarms go all night
Smoking cigs like funeral pyres outside
I knew you from that something in those eyes
Watch the housing market dies
As a child, as a child
And you knew me from that something in my eyes
Baby boy with no homeland left to cry for
Homeland left to cry for
Student dorms, fire alarms go all night
While we wait do you want to get away for a while?
Let the sun washes the midwest gloom off your skin
Kiss me and wash my mother tongue off my lips
If you let me, I'll die your foreigner boy
My American dream is to die your foreigner boy
I asked you about your parents
You said well, they tried
Well, so did mine
You're a summer witch, I'm a winter bitch
You're a writer and I could barely speak this language
Teach me how to speak your tongue
With your tongue
Stuck between my lips
Your breath my lungs
I knew you from that something in those eyes
Watch the housing market dies
As a child, as a child
And you knew me from that something in my eyes
Baby boy with no homeland left to cry for
Homeland left to cry for
Student dorms, fire alarms go all night
Can I be your passenger boy just for tonight
Let the sun washes the midwest gloom off your skin
Kiss me and wash my mother tongue off my lips
If you let me, I'll die your foreigner boy
My American dream is to die your foreigner boy
Mattress on the floor with your foreigner boy
Apartment in Queens with your foreigner boy
An uninsured heart and your foreigner boy
My American dream, am I your foreigner boy
(You really are the best)
High school teacher and your foreigner boy
In your passenger seat, am I your foreigner boy
My step-mother tongue, I'm your foreigner boy
My American dream, I'm your foreigner boy
