Ashes of American Flags - Live in The Studio

The cash machine is blue and green
For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee
I could spend three dollars and 63 cents
On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes

Wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck
How hot and sorrowful, this machine begs for luck

All my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new

I want a good life with a nose for things
The fresh wind and bright sky's to enjoy my suffering
A hole without a key if I break my tongue
Speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come?

And all my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new

I'm down on my hands and knees
Every time a doorbell rings
I shake like a toothache
When I hear myself sing

All my lies are only wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new

I would like to salute
The ashes of American flags
And all the fallen leaves
Filling up shopping bags

Wow
"Ashes Of American Flags"
That's Wilco
Thank you, gentlemen, that was amazing
Two hours of Wilco on Sound Opinions tonight
Thank you very much (thanks for having us, thank you)
Our pleasure
