American Car Songtext

von Mike Doughty

My circus train pulls through the night
Full of lions and trapeze artists
I? m done with elephants and clowns
I want to run away and join the office

Aimless sister, you? re surrounded of
Angel faced and that I? m astounded
How sweet you are
How sweet you are

In your long, black American car
And you know just where to find me
If I don? t know who you are
You will remind me

There? s a girl down in the bar
A flaming star upon her shoulder
Slugging hot pink frozen drinks
To put the foot down on her smolder

Easy, cowboy, what? s the rush now?
She may cleave me like a snowplow
How sweet you are
How sweet you are

In your long, black American car
And you know just where to find me
If I don? t know who you are
You will remind me

All the lazy days are gone
Still the grind is grinding on
Throw the memories in a drawer
Lock myself behind a door

Aimless sister, you? re surrounded of
Angel faced and that I? m astounded of
Easy, cowboy, what? s the rush now?
She may cleave me like a snowplow
How sweet you are
How sweet you are

In your long, black American car
And you know just where to find me
If I don? t know who you are
You will remind me

Long, black American car
And you know just where to find me
If I don? t know who you are
You will remind me

You will remind me
You will remind me
You will remind me
You will remind me
You will remind me
