tonight you've caught your breath you've lost your american spirit if only i could catch my death yeah jus' give me long enough to fear it
her talk ain't like the other girls she takes my livin' at a glance we hear the locust's rasp back and forth an' through the thoughts the past does dance
do i waste my time yeah well you know it an' as i stroll through the room see my features show it
feel the hand on my shoulder yeah it calls me to dwell take a breath hard an' clear yeah like a hammer on a church bell
