about

This is our winning entry for the Song Fight title "Two Hits".

lyrics

Once is a blessing
And twice is a fluke
Keep the party going
While you're bulletproof

It might take your whole life
To get to the top
When you're high on the charts
You can't drop

One two!
Make it four on the floor
People lining up outside of the door
Making music
While the audience screams
Keep the motor running on the American dream

Once you're flying high
You think you'll never come down
Private jets keep you safe
From the ground

Changed your name now
You'll never regret
The folks you left behind
And you try to forget

One two!
Make it four on the floor
People lining up outside of the door
Making music
While the audience screams
Keep the motor running on the American dream

Alone with your demons
They haunt only you
Push away anyone
Who tries to get through
You blame the world
While you blame yourself
Every eruption
Another cry for help

But you're back on the road
Back in the studio
Whatever it takes
To play the next show

One two!
Make it four on the floor
People lining up outside of the door
Making music
While the audience screams
Keep the motor running on the American dream

One two!
Make it four on the floor
People lining up outside of the door
Making music
While the audience screams
Keep the motor running

One two!

Keep the motor running on the American dream
