Ashes of American Flags |
| The cash machine is blue &green |
| $ 400 in twenties and small silver _ |
| I could spend $ 3.63 on Diet Coca Cola |
| And unlit cigarettes |
| I wonder why we listen to poets |
| And nobody gives a thought |
| How hot &sorrowful |
| This machine begs for naught |
| All my lies are always wishes |
| I know i could die if i could come back new |
| I want a good life |
| With a nose for things |
| Fresh wind &bright sky |
| To enjoy my suffering |
| A hole without a key |
| If i break my tongue |
| Speakingof tomorrow |
| How will it ever come |
| Oh, all my lies are always wishes |
| I know i will die if i could come back new |
| I am down on my hands &knees |
| Every time the doorbell rings |
| I shake like a toothache |
| When i hear myself sing |
| Oh, my lies are only wishes |
| I know i will die if i could come back new |
| I would like to salute |
| The ashes of American flags |
| And all the fallen leaves |
| Filling up shopping bags |
