Mike Doughty - American Car Lyrics

Artist: Mike Doughty

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Mike Doughty, Dan Wilson

My circus train pulls through the night
Full of lions and trapeze artists
I'm done with elephants and clowns
I want to run away and join the office

Aimless sister, you're surrounded of
Angel faced and that I'm astounded
How sweet you are
How sweet you are

In your long, black American car
And you know just where to find me
If I don't know who you are
You will remind me

There's a girl down in the bar
A flaming star upon her shoulder
Slugging hot pink frozen drinks
To put the foot down on her smolder

Easy, cowboy, what's the rush now?
She may cleave me like a snowplow
How sweet you are
How sweet you are

In your long, black American car
And you know just where to find me
If I don't know who you are
You will remind me

All the lazy days are gone
Still the grind is grinding on
Throw the memories in a drawer
Lock myself behind a door

Aimless sister, you're surrounded of
Angel faced and that I'm astounded of
Easy, cowboy, what's the rush now?
She may cleave me like a snowplow
How sweet you are
How sweet you are

In your long, black American car
And you know just where to find me
If I don't know who you are
You will remind me

Long, black American car
And you know just where to find me
If I don't know who you are
You will remind me

You will remind me
You will remind me
You will remind me
You will remind me
You will remind me
