Wilco Ashes Of American Flags ( Lyrics)

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002) Lyrics: The cash machine is blue and green For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee I could spend three dollars and sixtythree cents On diet cocacola 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 The 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 wishes I know I would die if I could come back new I m down on my hands and knees Every time a 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 fallen leave
