American Slang lyrics

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 when it was over, I woke up alone

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

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 oooh
So close to her heart before they tear you apart

when they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
And I called for my father but my father had died
I called for my father but my father had died
while you told me fortunes, in American Slang
You told me fortunes, in American Slang
