Verse 1

This American dream

Is made of old plywood

And the splinters

Hurt my fingers

 

If you come clean

Will it do any good

As the critical headlines

Spew the black ink from the printing machine


Verse 2

The words will cut right through you

Like a sharp fingernail

From an old nympho

In a room full of swingers

 

As we float to our deaths

In leaky old boats

Washing dirty old laundry, in the old dirty water

That’s rising much faster than we care to think about it

 

Pre-chorus

All her faults can be seen

If you look hard enough

From a distance

She is the ugly girl

Waiting to blossom

At the dance

 

Who is dressed to undress

In the right hands

As quick as she can

She waited her turn

She waited long enough

Look at her go as

She takes her chance

 

Chorus

It’s like, a rollercoaster ride

With negative g’s

And the feeling of weightlessness

Lives

Long into the night

It’s where anyone

Can be a winner

If you try hard enough
