Ashes of American Flags (live in the studio)

The cash machine is blue and green For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee I could spend three dollars and 63 cents On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes Wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a fuck How hot and sorrowful, this machine begs for luck All my lies are always wishes I know I would die if I could come back new I want a good life with a nose for things The fresh wind and bright sky's to enjoy my suffering A hole without a key if I break my tongue Speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come? And all my lies are always wishes I know I would die if I could come back new I'm down on my hands and knees Every time a doorbell rings I shake like a toothache When I hear myself sing All my lies are only wishes I know I would die if I could come back new I would like to salute The ashes of American flags And all the fallen leaves Filling up shopping bags Wow "Ashes Of American Flags" That's Wilco Thank you, gentlemen, that was amazing Two hours of Wilco on Sound Opinions tonight Thank you very much (thanks for having us, thank you) Our pleasure
