Wilco - Ashes Of American Flags Lyrics
The cash machine is blue & green$400 in twenties and small silver _I could spend $3.63 on diet coca colaAnd unlit cigarettesI wonder why we listen to poetsAnd nobody gives a thoughtHow hot & sorrowfulThis machine begs for naughtAll my lies are always wishesI know I could die if I could come back newI want a good lifeWith a nose for thingsFresh wind & bright skyTo enjoy my sufferingA hole without a keyIf I break my tongueSpeakingof tomorrowHow will it ever comeOh, all my lies are always wishesI know I will die if I could come back newI am down on my hands & kneesEvery time the doorbell ringsI shake like a toothacheWhen I hear myself singOh, my lies are only wishesI know I will die if I could come back newI would like to saluteThe ashes of american flagsAnd all the fallen leavesFilling up shopping bags
