Day 165: Ruby- London Cravings

Take me somewhere
Far away from here
Lately being American
Feels stifling

I think maybe I'm spoiled
Have already seen what I've wanted
From this country
I'm so ready to

Leap across ponds
Cross borders
Live someone else's law
Test if my vibration is altered elsewhere

I'm trapped inside my short memory
Of London
Wonder if the next time
Will be just as sweet as the first

Order me a Boeing
Summon my jet
And since I breathe art
You know I deserve an air-craft

Take me on the iLL-avator Airline
Flight Upwards
Cause right now I be Pharrel-Like
Fly or die (ok its not that serious)

But I am starting to see sounds
Like the tube zooming past
Me minding the gap
The cars zooming on opposite road-sides

I've gotta get out of here
Soon enough I say
Bump Estelle non-stop
Youtubin MIA all night

There's something in London
I've got to experience
And plus,
My accent's pretty decent

Take me somewhere far away already
Please?
