Supertramp-Style Lyrics — Even More Supertramp

[Verse 1]

Took the early bus to nowhere, just to watch the daylight break,

Got my pockets full of wishes and a heart that’s half awake.

People rush like paper figures, chasing dreams on borrowed time,

And I sit there sipping mercy from a cup that isn’t mine.

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, the world keeps getting louder,

But the truth feels even prouder…

[Chorus]

I only wanted a little Breakfast in America,

A tiny bit of wonder in a life so perpendicular.

Thought the streets would sing, but the tune was quite particular—

A mix of hope and sorrow, strangely perpendicular.

[Verse 2]

Billboards selling perfect faces, plastic joy in plastic jars,

“Buy a future, buy a feeling, buy a map to reach the stars.”

And I grin like some imposter trying hard to play along,

While the city hums a jingle, slightly meta, slightly wrong.

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, I walk in slow confusion,

Lost between the facts and illusion…

[Chorus]

I only wanted a little Breakfast in America,

A simple bit of comfort in a world so artificial.

Thought the dream was gold, but the shine was unintentional—

Half of it hysterical, half of it medicinal.

[Bridge – dreamy, Hodgson-ish]

Maybe I’m still waiting

For a sign I never saw…

But the stranger that I’ve become

Feels strangely hopeful after all…

[Final Chorus]

I only wanted a little Breakfast in America,

A melody to carry me, a feeling more reciprocal.

Still I chase that spark, in a place unpredictable—

’Cause even the ridiculous

Can turn a little miracle.
