lyrics

There's something American about her face
Apple pie. Handguns. Summer vacation
Dark on her brow Dakota thunderclouds rage
Over billboards on highways that promise salvation

Her body is single use plastic
Her soul is a Georgia pine
The blood in her veins, sweet sugar cane
That pools in her oil spill eyes
Her mind is a greyhound bus
That broke down a long time ago
Freedom rings in her ear like a payphone
Far off in the street below

There's something American about her face
Chem trails. Slaughter waste. Fresh cut grass
A solid gold medal in an old trophy case
A phantom of victory from an era long past

Her smile is a field of wheat
Her heart is a dead shopping mall
Gone are the days when she gave it away 
She wishes her daughters would call
Her tears are as rare as arrowheads
Dug up from a river run dry
She can’t take the stairs like she used to
She isn’t quite ready to die

Cool end of summer
Sweet creme brulee
It’s such a bummer
I can’t make you stay

Ain’t that just the way it goes
Sometimes it goes wrong

Wind in the trees when you hold me
Rain on the leaves when you’re gone
Wind in the trees when you hold me
Rain on the leaves when you’re gone

Hot lighting striking
Slow clouds above
I find it frightening
How you leave and love

Now the sun is sinking low
Shadows growing long

Wind in the trees when you hold me
Rain on the leaves when you’re gone
Wind in the trees when you hold me
Rain on the leaves when you’re gone

Wind in the trees when you hold me
Rain on the leaves when you’re gone
Wind in the trees when you hold me
Rain on the leaves when you’re gone
