Testo American Backslide - Garland Jeffreys
Testo della canzone American Backslide (Garland Jeffreys), tratta dall'album Guts for Love
How does it feel in the morning shower?
Will a great decision come before lunch hour?
From the ivory tower like a proclamation
Who'll be the next to go?
How does it feel when you got no power
And your faith is shaky like your destination
And your future's empty, full of just frustration
And you're searchin' high and low?
One o'clock jump
A one o'clock jump
Oh, one o'clock jump
A one o'clock jump
How does it feel when you got no job
And you got three kids, nothin' much to eat
And you steal and you rob just to make ends meet
And you can't even stand on your own two feet?
How does it feel when your favorite player
Has been bought and sold before he gets too old?
Leave him out in the cold with a pension and a plaque
And a drug addiction for a saccharly act
One o'clock jump
A one o'clock jump
Oh, one o'clock jump
A one o'clock jump
How does it feel when you're drivin' around
In your automobile and they tell you it's real
On your radio that they're makin' a deal
But you know in your heart it's a dirty deal?
How does it feel when everything you say
Seems to wash away and it's twisted like clay?
And you stammer and you stutter, every word you mutter
Like an echo in the dark, it's so ineffective
One o'clock jump
A one o'clock jump
One o'clock jump
A one o'clock jump
Thirty seconds for the big strike
No one's riding down the turnpike
Everything is turning ghostlike
Sixty minutes after midnight
