American Storm

Headin' out on some uncharted path

You soon turn back, it happens time and time again

Never seem to reach the end

Someone's out there on the street tonight

When things go wrong he'll guarantee to make them right

If the price is right

Every time I look you're fallin', fallin'

Beaten by the wind

Every time I turn around he's there again

It's like a full-force gale

An American storm

You're buried far beneath a mountain of cold

And you never get warm

It's like a wall of mirrors

You charge 'em at full speed

You cover up, you hear the shattering glass

But you never bleed

You never feel the need

Everybody casts a certain light

A special gift, it's theirs to use for wrong or right

When you face the night

More and more, we choose the easy way

And take no risks, we figure out which games to play

How to make 'em play

Suddenly the pressure's falling, falling

Skies have all turned red

Suddenly the storm is headin' straight your way

It's like a full-force gale

Atop a mountain of cold

You tell your story again and again

And it never gets old

You face a wall of mirrors

You charge 'em at full speed

You cover up, you hear the shattering glass

But you never bleed

You face a full-force gale

An American storm

You're buried beneath a mountain of cold

And you never get warm, no, you never get warm

You face a wall of mirrors

You charge 'em at full speed

You cover up, you hear the shattering glass

But you never bleed

You never feel the need

You never feel the need

Never feel the need

Oh

It's like a full-force gale

An American storm
