i go across the pond to a place i don't belong
the English invade, the world retaliates
i don't belong, i don't belong
an American band in London
i won't be long, won't be long

an American band sails around the world today
unexpected roads are paved
safe passage to my escape
but people never change

as i step off the plane, i give the song a name
the English refrain, "Sir, you cannot stay"
i don't belong, i don't belong
an American band in London
i won't be long, won't be long

an American band in London
