Gaslight Anthem - American Slang текст песни

American Slang by Gaslight Anthem

Look what you started

I seem to be coming out of my skin.

Look what you've forgotten here.

The bandages just don't keep me in.



and when it was over I woke up alone.



and they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive.

I got your name tattooed inside of my arm.

I called for my father but my father had died.

while you told me fortunes in American Slang.




Look at the damage

the fortunes came for the richer men.

while we're left with gallows

waiting for us liars to come down and hang.



and here's where we died that time last year

and here's where the angels and devils meet.

and you can dance with the queen if you need

and she will always keep your cards close to her heart.

before they tear you apart.
