64studios101 - americana dreams lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s a train museum in sacramento
where the hobos go now that the railway has closed down
the radio plays hymns borne out of bluegrass
that reminisce about the glory days of this old town

the axles on the mine cart have all rusted
and the pickaxe is lodged inside the rock
the northern railway station has been boarded
in hushed tones all of the local folk talk

[chorus]
americana dreams, they haunt my nightmares
god ignores everyone’s silent prayers
billy joel said we didn’t start this
regardless of if that’s true, who cares

[verse 2]
j.p. morgan, he could not save his wife
turned his sorrow into stocks and bonds
most of us have better and worse fortune
everything and nothing corresponds

ordered midnight breakfast at the diner
paid the waiter their minimum wage
looked across the street, past the cable car
and was transferred to a bygone age
[chorus]
americana dreams, they haunt my nightmares
god ignores everyone’s silent prayers
billy joel said we didn’t start this
regardless of if that’s true, who cares

[verse 3]
love and hate and everything encapsuled
by quiet trees swaying in the wind
every thought a notion to be grappled (with)
but there’s no conclusion in the end
