American Low
Oh this hurricane's blowing us thin
This never ending swirl of American sin
Where I strayed on my knees to a bottomless cage
Where they throw dollar bills and hope to be saved
The poshest scarf on the warmest day"¦
Its enough to make you give up "¦.she says...
I know I know I know "¦it shows
As we sleep in this broken Cadillac
We watch the world leave it doesn't look back
I gotta say that"¦when my heart attacks
Don't return it"¦it will fire right back...
So let's just lie here as they paint us black"¦
Oh this earthquake is shaking our hands
Free at the wrists just as we started a dance
The hardest thing next to diamond rings
Is the coats we have to wear just to make ends meet
I got this year and fifty more to beat"¦
Its enough to make you give up"¦.she says"¦
I know I know I know"¦.so let go"¦
The nervous ticks only the holy get
The country treats as the cities get sick
The lunatics and the Harlem tricks
The country treats as we all get sick"¦
