Dead American

Now it’s finally true
They’ve left it up to you
You don’t know the way
But you’d like to think you do
And everybody’s noticing
That you haven’t been paying much attention
Where else have you been
What else could it be
Your father’s on the ceiling
Your mother’s on TV
And you just bit your nails
And hope that someone sees before you’re finished
When the tide comes in your boat will fly
When you leave the ground you’ll wave good-bye
To everyone you’ve been
So long and back again
All you ever wanted
Was to be where you belonged
There’s so many places now
It’s easy to go wrong
You’ve been hearing voices
So you try to sing along like you believe them
Can you really tell
After all of this
Is it really you or just something you might have missed
You’re so overwhelmed
You’d like to put your fist right through the window
When the tide comes in your boat will fly
When you leave the ground you’ll wave good-bye
To everyone you’ve been
So long and back again
I’m gone like that again
Another dead American
Another dead American
As soon as you stop thinking
Nothing’s missing when you’re standing still
You don’t want them to see you in the light
It never seems just like it should to you
When the tide comes in your boat will fly
When you leave the ground you’ll wave good-bye
To everyone you’ve been
So long and back again
I’m gone like that again
So long and back again
Another dead American
Another dead American
Another dead American
Another dead American
Another dead
Another dead American
Another dead
Another dead American
