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 when it was over I woke up alone
And they cut me to ribbons
and told 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
(Repeat Intro once)
And look at the damage
The fortunes came
for the richer men
While we were left
with gallows
Just waiting for us liars
to come down and hang
And when it was over
I woke up alone
And when it was over
I woke up alone
And they cut me to ribbons
and told 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
G C--
in American Slang
And here's where we died
that time last year
And 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
Oh so close to her heart
before they tear you apart
And they cut me to ribbons
and told me to drive
I got your name tattooed
inside of my arm
I called for my father
but my father had died
And we called for our fathers
but our fathers had died
While you told me fortunes
in American Slang
While you told me fortunes
in American Slang
