She Said Fine
American girl, it was never enough I was throwing signs in your direction though you know it wasn't my intention to take you home tonight we've been there before you say i'm going off the reservation, was I ever on the reservation? knew it all along but i threw it away, lights on our faces turns pale and grey I always knew I would do it that way you said you would always be fine... hide it in a corner and throw it away, lock it in a box and forget my name the selfish one that's cold and vain
American girl, I don't know what they want always fire shots in my direction, looking for another one's affection what keeps us up at night: it's bridges apart the train has gone and crashed into the station though you know it wasn't my intention knew it all along but I threw it away, lights on our faces turns pale and grey I always knew I would do it that way you said you would always be fine... hide it in a corner and throw it away, lock it in a box and forget my name The selfish one that's cold and vain
The lights go out it's such a pity, buildings yawn in a quiet city So please take me home Chariots in the sky are falling, swinging low come be my constant Please carry me home

I know where we’re going Now I can’t feel a thing.
