Limited being at this time of year Decaying monies and my father's cool fears Escape now I hate now A shotgun wedding at a quarter to five I shot the husband and I slept with the bride Escape now I hate now But I just wanna hold your hand I wanna scrape my knees now I wanna be in good blood I wanna be an american An american's american Just like you (Solo) Meet me tomorrow dressed in black and white Six shooter waiting on John wayne's right Escape now I hate now Come back to me with your bottle of fears Commit yourself to a steady career And that's that Forget that But I just wanna hold your hand I wanna scrape my knees now I wanna be in good blood I wanna be an american An american's american Just like you My darling It's over now Give up.
