American Slang

Look what you started I seem to be comin' out of my skin And 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 taught me to drive I got your name tattooed inside of my arm And I called for my father, but my father had died Oh, while you told me fortunes in American slang And look at the damage The fortunes came for the richer men While we're 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 taught me to drive I got your name tattooed inside of my arm And I called for my father, but my father had died Oh, while you told me fortunes 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 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 Whoa, when we called for our fathers, but our fathers had died Oh, you told us fortunes in American slang Oh-oh, you told me fortunes in American slang
