Tell us a story by candlelight
Waging a war and losing the fight

They're playing the song of the century
Of panic and promise and prosperity
Tell me a story into that goodnight

In all your scars and ammunition
You made your bed in salad days

As autumns wind fades into black
She is the saint on all the sinners
The one that's fallen thought the cracks

To the broken hearted
Bring us the season
That we always will remember

Verse 1:
She puts her makeup on
Like graffiti on the
walls of the heartland
She's got her little
book of conspiracies
Right in her hand
She is paranoid like
Endangered species
headed into extinction
She is one of a kind
She's the last of
the American girls
Verse 2:
She wears her overcoat
For the coming of
the nuclear winter
She is riding her bike
Like a fugitive
of critical mass
She's on a hunger strike
For the ones who won't
make it for dinner
She makes enough to survive
For a holiday of working class
Chorus 1:
She's a runaway of the
establishment incorporated
She won't cooperate
F#(hold)
She's the last of
the American girls

Verse 3:
She plays her
vinyl records
Singing songs on the
even of destruction
She's a sucker for
All the criminals
breaking the laws
She will come in first
For the end of the
western civilization
She's an endless war
Like a hero for
the lost cause
Chorus 2:
Like a hurricane
In the heart of
the devastation
She's a natural
disaster
F#(hold)
She's the last of

Verse 1:
Little girl little girl
Why are you crying?
Inside your restless
soul your heart is dying
Little one, little one
Your soul is purging
Of love and razor blades
Your blood is surging
Chorus 1:
Runaway
From the river to the street
And find yourself with
your face in the gutter
Your a stray for the salvation ar my
There is no place like home
x2
When you got no place to go
Verse 2:
Little girl, little girl
Your life is calling
The charlatans and
saints of your a bandon
Little one little one
The sky is falling
The lifeboat of
deception is now sailing
In the wake all the way
No rhyme or reason
Your bloodshot eyes
Will show your
heart of treason
Little girl little girl
You dirty liar
You're just a junkie
Preaching to the choir
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
The traces of blood
Always follow you home
Like the Mascara tears
From your getaway
Your walking with blisters
And running with shears
So unholy Sister of grace
