American Scheme Songtext
von Hounds

I don′t pay attention to breath
'Til I′m lying at night in my bed
If I let my head pull my lungs apart
I won't fall asleep 'til morning

Sometimes I find I′m getting bored
Do you feel yourself getting bored?
Of all the excuses made
Of all the detailed complaints

Like this, what are you going to do?
Now that time′s catching up to you
What are you going to do?
As time has its way with you
What are you going to do?
Why don't they prepare you for this?


As we′re saying goodbye to our friends
Now I worry about what I don't know
Become sedated in cubicles
The American scheme, try to head for the coast
Try to balance the beam without falling apart
Just one rip at the seams could be the crashing of cars
Or the smashing of teeth or your choice

About what are you going to do?
As time catches up to you
What are you going to do?

Let′s stop and think it over
Are we driving ourselves mad?
Why is the look on your face so sad?
You worked so hard to be sitting here with me
Like every day, no need to worry

Baby, I'll tell you what I′m going to do
I'll never stop loving you
I'll never stop loving you
That′s what I′m going to do
Yeah, that's what I′m going to do
