Am I Still The One For You

Lyrics

The souls of her buildings and the eyes of her bridges
 See the cracks in the trestles and electrical grids
 Connected by the alleys and the dirt country roads
 And the highways that I ride from the coast to the coast
 Collections and policies like ragdogs follow me
 Snapping at my heels
 Am I still the one for you?
 Sometimes being greedy makes you broke
 Sometimes being hasty makes you waste
 Sometimes feasting makes you choke
 Hey, what's that I thought I heard you say?
 Sometimes being armed will make you safe
 Sometimes your arms, they hold me close
 Am I still the one for you?
 Well your rust belt's dusty and the dust bowl's forgotten
 And the meat is turning and the crops are rotten
 Your seaboard's battered and the borders are shuttered
 Good people scattered like criminals
 Collections and policies like ragdogs follow me
 Snapping at our heels
 Am I still the one for you?
 Sometimes being greedy makes you broke
 Sometimes being hasty makes you waste
 Sometimes a feast will make you choke
 Hey, what's that I thought I heard you say?
 Sometimes being racist makes you safe
 Sometimes lonely makes me smoke
 Am I still the one for you?
 Well hang from the ropes and ring all the bells
 And open the jails and empty the cells
 Flood the streets with streams of whiskey
 Let's party like hell
 We were doomed from the start
 What's holding us together babe is tearing me apart but
 You're the only one for me.
 Sometimes being charming makes me sick
 Sometimes being hasty makes me waste
 Sometimes baby we don't click
 Hey what's that I thought I heard you say?
 Sometimes being racist makes you safe
 Sometimes I scratch my head and walk away
 Am I still the one for you?
 Am I still the one for you?
 Buy the third world drinks, let the first world thirst
 Make the first world last and the third world first
 Let the third world feast let the first world fast
 Make the third world first, and make it last, yeah
 Sometimes being greedy makes you broke
 Sometimes being hasty makes you waste
 Sometimes feasting makes you choke
 Hey, what's that I thought I heard you say?
 Sometimes being armed will make you safe
 Sometimes your arms push me away
 Am I still the one for you?
 Am I still the one for you?
 Am I still the one for you?
 Headlights are glowing in the broad daylight
 Cars come and go in the middle of the night
 The empty graves and the scattered ashes
 And the sacred garments for funeral bashes
 People lined up around the block
 Tears keep flowing, ain't ever gonna stop
 You're the only one for me.
