Ashes of American Flags

The cash machine
 Is blue and green
 For a hundred in 20's
 And a small service fee
 I could spend three dollars
 And 63 cents
 On diet Coca-Cola
 And unlit cigarettes
 I wonder why
 ♪
 We listen to poets
 When nobody gives a fuck
 How hot and sorrowful
 This machine begs for luck
 All my lies are always wishes
 I know I would die
 If I could come back new
 I want a good life
 ♪
 With a nose for things
 A fresh wind and bright sky
 To enjoy my suffering
 A hole without a key
 If I break my tongue
 Speaking of tomorrow
 How will it ever come
 All my lies are always my wishes
 I know I would die
 If I could come back new
 ♪
 I'm down on my hands and knees
 Every time the doorbell rings
 I shake like a toothache
 When I hear myself sing
 All my lies are only wishes
 I know I would die
 If I could come back new
 ♪
 I would like to salute
 The ashes of American flags
 And all the falling leaves
 Filling up shopping bags
