lyrics

I know that it's not how you thought it would be
as you work this job in the city
beneath a late night halogen light
you find a backstreet fistfight
and you could run if you wanted to run
but try your shoes against a silver soaked gun
they take your watch, take your wallet and leave
you clench your fist take a breath and breathe

you've probably seen her as she sips on her wine
she always leaves you with a star struck shimmery shine
the tune is playing as it flows through her hair
she breathes the melody and winks you a dare
her feet are moving but yours stick to the floor
a bank of beauty and you've broken the door

so bye bye American Dream I'm finding out that i need
something more than
bye bye American Dream I'm finding out that I need
something more than
you
