American Dream

She was a spinning glass heart with a crack running down her side For her falling in love was never enough to bridge divide Build a fire so big that it burns us all Light a fire so big that it burns my soul He was an old chimney billowing smoke into the sky And all the birds in the trees would catch his disease and die Build a fire so big that it burns us all Light a fire so big that it burns my soul I feel your fear it follows me to the corner of the room Does anybody hear the words I say as I fall down You were dancing across the floor without burning bounds Now you can't find your way home Does anybody hear the words I say as I fall down He was a steel bullet train vowing never again to cross state lines Until she blew up the hills with her dynamite it burned his eyes She was a river boat queen an American dream for sure Silver steeple of hope that kept the city alive through the war Build a fire so big that it burns us all Light a fire so big that it burns my soul I feel your fear it follows me to the corner of the room Does anybody hear the words I say as I fall down You were dancing across the floor without burning bounds Now you can't find your way home Does anybody hear the words I say as I fall down We're all falling down, no our feet never touched the ground We're all falling down, no our feet never made a sound We're all falling down, no our feet never touched the ground We're all falling down
