Wilco - Ashes Of American Flags lyrics

Your rating:

The cash machine is blue and green
For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee
I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents
On diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes

I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck
How hot and sorrowful, this machine begs for luck

All my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new

We want a good life with a nose for things
The fresh wind and bright sky to endure my suffering
I'm a hole without a key if I break my tongue
Speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come?

All my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new

I'm down on my hands and knees every time a doorbell rings
I shake like a toothache, oh, when I hear myself sing

All my lies are only wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new

I would like to salute the ashes of American flags
And all the fallen leaves filling up shopping bags
