I'm lying wide awake in bed My eyes are closed just like I'm dead My friends all think that I'm a bore But I don't need them anymore I don't get up I don't go out I have no life to speak about It feels so good to leave the blame with you That's what I do I'm going down Come around Watch me when I hit the ground Give me just one fix of your Your sweet american love I go blind Lose my mind Leave the world I know behind Just to feel it one last time Sweet american love My telephone is off the hook My eyes are closed I'm scared to look I bet you're happy now you're free But what about poor little me I draw your picture on the wall My phone is dead and still your call My mama asked I told her I get by That's such a lie I'm going down Come around Watch me when I hit the ground Give me just one fix of your Your sweet american love I go blind Lose my mind Leave the world I know behind Just to feel it one last time My sweet american love I've kept the things you gave to me The air is clear but I can't see And a cheerful radio boasts that " Love is in the air" But it's so full of sh** A sony is it? So what D'ya you have to leave me for Was it my hair, was I such a bore Well you know baby That you were always my only choice (goin' down, come around, watch me when I hit the ground) Gimme just one fix of your, your american love, american love (I go blind, lose my mind, leave the world I know behind) Just to feel it one last time Oh Damn You
