Auteurs - American Guitars lyrics

They were failing dutifully

If you're going to fail at all

Failing came more easily

Than it did to us all

And I wanted to be there

See them again

It was easy to see they were

The best band to be in

I gave up drugging

When you spiked my drink

Stopped freeloading

When I could not get in

I gave up singing

When I was told

I could not dance

Knew my place in the world

When I heard them start

Woke up Sunday morning

With a hole

the size of my pool

Couldn't believe

I'd grown so ugly

Couldn't believe

I'd been so cruel

I should've set back

Thought about their past

East coast to west coast

How they'd struggled

for their art

Some people

were born to write

Some people

were born to dance

Thought I knew

my place in the world

Thought I knew my art

Glad to be there, see them begin

It was easy to see

They were the best band to be in

American Guitars...
