American Slang Lyrics - American Slang - The Gaslight Anthem

Look what you started, 

I seem to be coming out of my skin 

Look what you've forgotten here 

The bandages just don't keep me in 

And when it was over, I woke up alone 

And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive 

I got your name tattooed inside of my arm 

I called for my father but my father had died 

While you told me fortunes, in American Slang

Look at the damage, 

The fortunes came for the richer men. 

While we're left with gallows, 

Waiting for us liars to come down and hang. 

And when it was over, I woke up alone 

And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive 

I got your name tattooed inside of my arm 

I called for my father but my father had died 

While you told me fortunes, in American Slang 

And here's where we died that time last year, 

And here's where the angels and devils meet. 

And you can dance with the queen if you need, 

And she will always keep your cards 

Close to her heart oooh 

So close to her heart before they tear you apart
