Lyrics

Young American

Hold me in the grips of your jaw So you can show me what my mouth is for Suffocate me in between your thighs And take me swimming, naked, in your eyes I'm yours, yeah I am Young American Pull me into orbit with your hands Then show me where you wanted me to land Take me to the birth mark on your arm And let me live forever in your palm I'm yours, yeah I am Young American Heavy and aggressive, I'm your thud So easy and obsessive, I'm your drug I am yours, take me now as I am Young American Young American Young American
