"American Dream" lyrics

(Hello?)

Hey Mum, I'm sorry to wake you up
I know it's 3am in England, but I'm off my nut
I haven't slept since Friday
Dunno why I caught the flight
When we both evidently knew something was wrong

This was supposed to be
My American dream
But somehow I can't seem to shake it off

Now I'm across the pond, and I got no one
To talk me off this ledge I'm on
Sorry, I don't mean to worry you
I'm wondering when my skin got so paper thin
Hell, I can't take much more of this
Please can you just tell me what to do?
As I lay paralysed in this room
I'm thinking this is more than just the blues

Hi Dad, I'm sorry to interrupt
I know you're out in Hong Kong soaking it all up
But Mum had to go sleep and
I can't regulate my breathing
And my brain's intent on total self-destruct

This was supposed to be
My American dream
But somehow I can't seem to shake it off

Now I'm across the pond, and I got no one
To talk me off this ledge I'm on
Sorry, I don't mean to worry you
I'm wondering when my skin got so paper thin
Hell, I can't take much more of this
Please can you just tell me what to do?
As I lay paralysed in this room
I'm thinking this is more than just the blues
