The Last American Cowboy Lyrics

Brace yourself

For the plight of the born.

As the spotlight strips you bare.

Just a useless act in the play of life.

Cast as the role of the lover

And I feel slightly misplaced

In a world that's fuck or be fucked



Kill the lights.

Letch.

One more time and say it like you mean it.

Lush.

One more time and tell it like you feel it.

Lover.

You've got talent but I just dont see it.



Wrap your hook around my neck and

Get me off get me off get me off your stage.



In every coma-lover's kiss collides with truth.

And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise and I know

Disguise the lies that you fed me last night

These plots are breeding grounds

For nothing but the worst and nothing could be worse

And I know why.



And what do I have left?

The composer just went deaf.

The singer lost his breath

In the glow of the crowd.

The dancer's on a crutch.

The writer drank too much.

The director lost his touch.

In the glow of the crowd.



Can you resist the urge

To burn the script we wrote?

Bring on the flood before we choke.

Applause engulfs the room.

We bow into our tombs.

Sing me one more line so I can sleep.

Sing me one more line so I can sleep

Sing me one more line so I can sleep

This is all you need.

My love, it follows you

To your grave, to your grave

And I know

My love, it follows you

To your grave, to your grave



In every coma-lover's kiss collides with truth.

And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise and I know

Disguise the lies that you fed me last night

These plots are breeding grounds

For nothing but the worst and nothing could be worse

And I know



In every coma-lover's kiss collides with truth.

And every tongue that slips will drip onto your bruise and I know

Disguise the lies that you fed me last night

These plots are breeding grounds

For nothing but the worst and nothing could be worse

And I know why.
