I came for the American dream
All the shiny people in the magazines
Drink up the town til you overflow
Another pill and on with the show
Round this time of year it just gets hard
So for you this once i'll try to let my guard, down
Half the ones you loved are gone
Half the sun has come and shone
I'll wake, from a dream of you
V2
Cheated on myself with another man
Made him up tough with a plastic grin
Made him come and play every show with me
Everything's all right, nothing here to see
Well I see another Christmas come around
Oh Lord we've run ourselves into the ground, again
Now these days don't last so long
Now these hands don't feel so strong
All the ways to use me up are gone
The year is gone
Bring on the next one
Coz we got it all wrong
Can't take it back with a song
The year is gone
Bring the next one on
Coz we got it all wrong
Don't get much help from this song
The year is gone
I just want to move on
And finish this song
It just goes on and on
Just like we go on and on
Like we go on and on
We go and on
On and on
