American Steel

Times like these are fleeting at best
But to hell with the rest
Trust is like suicide
You don't have a choice either way

Some things were said but that's okay
They needed said anyway
Let's forgive and forget

I don't know how far the apple fell
And through angry lenses it's hard to tell
But I'll be seeing you in hell

Fill up the parting glass
Up off your ass, it's time to make what we have last
Goodnight, I love you still
Turn out the lights, the party's over

And if you sleep, sweet dreams
Sweet dreams

Drink all night and sleep all day
And I wake up just in time to work away
I'm out the fucking door
And I'm out of mind

Love and sacrifice aren't the meaning of life
Don't you see that yet?
Like you and me, hand in hand and so far apart

My head's impaled on Christmas ale
And shadows from the past
Warm thoughts full up cold hearts
Like coats coming off at Christmas mass

Fill up the parting glass
Up off your ass, it's time to make what we have last
Good night, I love you still
Turn off the lights, the party's over

And if you sleep, sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
