She comes out on Fridays everytime,
Stands out in a line.
It could have been anyone she sees.
She waits another week to fall apart.
She couldn’t make another day.
I wish it was anyone but me.
It could have been anyone you see.
She had something break the vultures? under her skin.
American girls - all glitter and noise,
Playing the changes for all of the boys,
Holding a candle up to my hand,
Making me feel so incredible.
She comes out of closets every night,
Dressed for a parade.
Just smiling at Jesus on her knees.
She gets a little kick out of showing it to me,
Before she puts it all away.
And she could keep anything from me.
She could have been anyone you see.
She’s nothing but porcelain underneath her skin.
American girls - all glitter and noise,
Playing the changes for all of the boys,
Holding a candle up to her hand,
Making me feel so incredible.
Little shiver, shaking me everyday.
But I could get this same thing anywhere.
So if she goes away,
Well it’s alright and I’m ok.
Hey, she said come back again tonight.
I said I might, I might, I might.
She said, well, that’s alright.
If it’s alright, it’s alright with you.
And it’s alright if it’s alright with me.
I waited for an hour last Friday night.
She never came around.
She took almost everything from me.
I’m going through my closets.
Trying on her clothes, almost everyday.
She could give anyone but me.
I wish it was anyone but me.
Nothing but pills and ashes under my skin.
American girls - all glitter and noise,
Playing the changes for all of the boys,
Holding a candle right up to my hand,
Making me feel so incredible.
If I make you cry, please, tell me why.
I can try again if you ask me to try.
American girls - all feathers and cream,
Coming to bed so edible.
American girls oh.
American girls.
American girls oh oh oh oh.
American girls oh.
American girls.
American girls oh oh oh.
You make me cry.
You make me cry.
You make me cry.
