Auteurs - American Guitars lyrics

rate me

They were failing dutifully<br />

If you're going to fail at all<br />

Failing came more easily<br />

Than it did to us all<br />

And I wanted to be there<br />

See them again<br />

It was easy to see they were<br />

The best band to be in<br />

I gave up drugging<br />

When you spiked my drink<br />

Stopped freeloading<br />

When I could not get in<br />

I gave up singing<br />

When I was told<br />

I could not dance<br />

Knew my place in the world<br />

When I heard them start<br />

Woke up Sunday morning<br />

With a hole<br />

The size of my pool<br />

Couldn't believe<br />

I'd grown so ugly<br />

Couldn't believe<br />

I'd been so cruel<br />

I should've set back<br />

Thought about their past<br />

East coast to west coast<br />

How they'd struggled<br />

For their art<br />

Some people<br />

Were born to write<br />

Some people<br />

Were born to dance<br />

Thought I knew<br />

My place in the world<br />

Thought I knew my art<br />

Glad to be there, see them begin<br />

It was easy to see<br />

They were the best band to be in<br />
