Christopher Sean - Learning to Fly (Love American-Style) lyrics

If you're tired and you're lonely Lonelier than Sin Who cannot find a soul tonight Willing to dance with him And your whipping boy is all whipped out Still he's whipping back with force Remember my son though things are bad They might still get worse So hitch your carriage to a star Hitch your star unto a girl Find an automobile that looks like you feel And travel the whole damned world Which for the moment Is a single blade of gra** Because America is exhausted And this thing doesn't run on gas But on dreams and dreams Like other machines Built from piss and puss and sweat And as they say "If you're breathing boy You are not dead yet" But on your way to gallows' songs Or weak, marginal dissent It's a day in the life of a Disney dog Or a panda's cold footprint No, forget that tone of dark despair There's a world beyond yourself Now break the blinds on your closet time Rise up on roller-coaster stilts Yes, see the world and God behind Beautiful, terrible, true When all your mistakes happened yesterday There are only new things to do And though she turns and laughs out loud "Bloody symphony of fools!" There's comfort in this guiding thought Even she doesn't have the tools But dreams and dreams Like other machines Built from piss and puss and sh** And as they say "If you're bleeding boy You are not dead yet" But here today to get the feel For the anti-hero's grace So fall through the floor of your evermore Behold His beautiful face Then with your body pocket-less Pulsing with an angel's blood Whatever you see or hear or think Is just another name for love When it's all said and done Only one thing counts Did you ride the bull of time with pride? Did you make the backseat bounce? Or if not, know this much And fairy tales don't lie You have a whole eternity To learn how not to die So dream just dream Like the human machine Too afraid to raise its head And as they say "If you're living badly You're as good as dead"
