Am I Still the One for You? Songtext
von Ike Reilly

The souls of her buildings and the eyes of her bridges
See the cracks in the trestles and electrical grids
Connected by the alleys and the dirt country roads
And the highways that I ride from the coast to the coast
Collections and policies like ragdogs follow me
Snapping at my heels
Am I still the one for you?

Sometimes being greedy makes you broke
Sometimes being hasty makes you waste
Sometimes feasting makes you choke
Hey, what′s that I thought I heard you say?
Sometimes being armed will make you safe
Sometimes your arms, they hold me close
Am I still the one for you?


Well your rust belt's dusty and the dust bowl′s forgotten
And the meat is turning and the crops are rotten
Your seaboard's battered and the borders are shuttered
Good people scattered like criminals
Collections and policies like ragdogs follow me
Snapping at our heels
Am I still the one for you?

Sometimes being greedy makes you broke
Sometimes being hasty makes you waste
Sometimes a feast will make you choke
Hey, what's that I thought I heard you say?
Sometimes being racist makes you safe
Sometimes lonely makes me smoke
Am I still the one for you?

Well hang from the ropes and ring all the bells
And open the jails and empty the cells
Flood the streets with streams of whiskey
Let′s party like hell
We were doomed from the start
What′s holding us together babe is tearing me apart but
You're the only one for me.


Sometimes being charming makes me sick
Sometimes being hasty makes me waste
Sometimes baby we don′t click
Hey what's that I thought I heard you say?
Sometimes being racist makes you safe
Sometimes I scratch my head and walk away
Am I still the one for you?
Am I still the one for you?

Buy the third world drinks, let the first world thirst
Make the first world last and the third world first
Let the third world feast let the first world fast
Make the third world first, and make it last, yeah

Sometimes being greedy makes you broke
Sometimes being hasty makes you waste
Sometimes feasting makes you choke
Hey, what′s that I thought I heard you say?
Sometimes being armed will make you safe
Sometimes your arms push me away
Am I still the one for you?
Am I still the one for you?
Am I still the one for you?

Headlights are glowing in the broad daylight
Cars come and go in the middle of the night
The empty graves and the scattered ashes
And the sacred garments for funeral bashes
People lined up around the block
Tears keep flowing, ain't ever gonna stop
You′re the only one for me.
