"American Spirit" lyrics

I won’t stop searching till I find it 
Lost like memories when I was a kid 
Is it in crystals or a sound bath 
Or the things I dreamt up but I never did 
I’ve looked all over, seeing double 
Do I need a single eye  
I need a mail order guru like those mail order brides 
They say It’s all in meditation 
But when I sit still, I’m afraid what I’ll find 
 
Am I gonna get better 
Did I drink the Kool-Aid 
Am I looking in all the wrong places 
Is my body just space 
 
I got that American Spirit  
It's searching for what I can’t find 
I’m looking in holy rivers 
I pray that she’ll show me a sign  
If I let go of holding tightly 
Will I see Jesus in a stranger tonight? 
The devil hides in Coca Cola 
But if I’m high will I be more qualified? 
Cause in my Elvis Presley record I found the light 
And my books say I’m a bad ass for just $12.99 
Maybe I’ll trace it to my family 
But maybe some things, should be buried alive  
 
I’m giving up 
I surrender to you 
I’m giving up  
I surrender to you

This song is so underrated and unknown. It’s literally tragic that this hasn’t been noticed

"And my books say I’m a bad ass for just $12.99"

I love this lyric so god damn much. I'm so happy you're back! I thought I wasn't going to hear another new Meg & Dia record for the rest of my days but here we are, listening! I hope to catch you on tour if you swing by the south texas area~!

[SRQGuitarGuy]

The more I listen to this Disc, the more I like it. Every song is strong and sounds great. Such talent!

[mikoseru]

Needs to be more popular. It's SO

[nimrod_himbro]

Saw them last night as openers for Amber in Detroit, OMG they sounded amazing!!

[sergelucca]

What makes meg & dia evolutionary is the lyric composition and how it ensembles in the entirety of the song. Like every word she pronounce (even the pronunciation and it's intonation matters so much to create that perfect blend in the instrument and rhythm) is so perfect for every bit of melody the instrument provides. in one word, Perfect. I miss them so much and thank god they're back.

I loved them so much due to this fact. I love their Lyric composition. it is beyond the regular formula of music.

[krilaz]

This is such an amazing song, why hasn't it exploded yet?

[Poemwriter_Angelo]

i read on wikipedia they never make music again. i'm glad they still do.

[jk_lol]

Wow, This song is fantastic! And apparently these two had a whole scene that I was oblivious to in high school… great song!

[kaileyconner]
