American Steel:There's A New Life

as if on cue to replace
my own tattered body
the moon is bright
there's sadness in your eyes
a desperate evening
stretches out before us
wine and cigarettes
are taken as commitment
nothing will grow here
wine and cigarettes
are taken as commitment
nothing will grow here
nothing nothing will grow here

there's a new life <i>[x6]

wake up sweating
it's four a.m. i'm thinking
my god there's a new life
struck by the horror of it all
half dead and passing my diseased life along
touch your stomach with my hand
burn and choke on my regret

there's a new life <i>[x10]
