The Gaslight Anthem [American Slang]

The first track from the new TGA album, American Slang!

Lyrics:

Look what you started
I seem to be coming out of my skin
Look what you've forgotten here
The bandages just don't keep me in
And when it was over, I woke up alone
And when it was over, I woke up alone

And they cut me to ribbons and told me to drive
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
I called for my father, but my father had died
While you told me fortunes in American Slang

And look at the damage
The fortunes came for the richer men
While we were left with gallows
Just waiting for us liars to come down and hang
And when it was over, I woke up alone
And when it was over, I woke up alone

And they cut me to ribbons and told me to drive
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
I called for my father, but my father had died
While you told me fortunes in American Slang

And here's where we died that time last year
And where the angels and devils meet
And you can dance with the queen if you need
And she will always keep your cards close to her heart
Oh so close to her heart, before they tear you apart

And they cut me to ribbons and told me to drive
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
I called for my father, but my father had died
And we called for our fathers, but our fathers had died
While you told us fortunes in American Slang

Oh you told me fortunes in American Slang

American English is very different to British English for example the American version doesn't have the Present Perfect tense plus the slang is very different. for example You guys say beaver whereas we say a hairy otter with funky teeth and shit.
