American Low - Cassino

Oh this hurricane’s blowing us thin

This never ending swirl of American sin

Where I strayed on my knees to a bottomless cage

Where they throw dollar bills and hope to be saved

The poshest scarf on the warmest day

Its enough to make you give up, she says.

I know, I know, I know.

it shows

As we sleep in this broken Cadillac

We watch the world leave, it doesn’t look back

I gotta say that when my heart attacks

Don’t return it, it’ll fire right back

So let’s just lie here as they paint us black

Oh this earthquake is shaking our hands

Free at the wrists just as we started a dance

The hardest thing next to diamond rings

Is the coats we have to wear just to make ends meet

I got this year and fifty more to beat

It’s enough to make you give up, she says.

I know, I know, I know.

so let go

As we sleep in this broken Cadillac

We watch the world leave, it doesn’t look back

I gotta say that when my heart attacks

Don’t return it, it’ll fire right back

So let’s just lie here as they paint us black

The nervous ticks only the holy get

The country treats as the cities get sick

The lunatics and the Harlem tricks

The country treats as we all get sick
