Are your stripes the shadows of bars or the hint of things unseen?
I move in for a closer look but I’m put off by your scream.
I got a gun and a knife. I’m sitting up high in a tree.
The moon is out; it’s my time of night. I’m waiting for you to come to me.
Are you a lost cause? Do you want to fuck me all night long?
I’m a soldier in the American dream; I need a man to tie my ribbons on.
Rasputin, he’s a handsome man; his eyes are black as beads,
His legs are long like noodles; but he ain’t got what I need,
Because the dawn will soon be breaking; the night is starting to pulse and creak;
Soon I’m gonna have to testify- I need somebody to take care of me.
Are you a lost cause? Do you want to fuck me all night long?
I’m a soldier in the American dream; I need a man to tie my ribbons on.
Right now I don’t love nobody. My mouth is bigger than my heart.
I’m encrusted, insensitive; I wear a button on my heart,
But what if you kissed me every night, ironed my ribbons, and made me tea,
Brushed my hair for a hundred years, you know, it might just start getting through to me.
Are you a lost cause? Do you want to fuck me all night long?
I’m a soldier in the American dream; I need a man to tie my ribbons on.
