"American High" lyrics - THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA
"American High"

I hit the ground at
A quarter to two
I was carried off the plane
Some one said I got fuel for you
And I was back on track again

Waiting for the curtain to fall
The wagon through me off
But I was back for more
Ready to burn like
You never seen before

Burn my American high
I'll miss you
I'll be gone for a while
Burn my American high
I'm leaving
But I'm going in style
Oh yeah
But I'm going in style

Shut yourself in the afterglow
Let me down you once again
Off the rails but you let me go
Right until the better end

Stone cold and ready to go
Don't be late for the midnight show
I'm on a roll and I'm feeling it grow
And now it's time to take a stand

Burn my American high
I'll miss you
I'll be gone for a while
Burn my American high
I'm leaving
But I'm going in style
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Hear it late on the radio
'Cross the bridges of New Jersey
Freezing rain for the second time
In a Burbank rendezvous
Ode to lovers at a late night bar
As one more eve of self destruction
I can't help it but I'm
Telling the truth
I did it all for you
I did it all for you

[Solo]

Burn my American high
I'll miss you
I'll be gone for a while
Burn my American high
I'm leaving
But I'm going in style
Burn my American high
I'll miss you
I'll be gone for a while
Burn my American high
I'm leaving
