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
