American Dreaming |
| I need my conscience to keep watch over me To protect me from myself |
| So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head |
| When I walk into the promised land |
| We’ve been too long American dreaming |
| And I think we’ve all lost the way |
| Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark |
| I’m in love with an American girl |
| Though she’s my best friend |
| I love her surreptitious smile |
| That hides the pain within her |
| And we’ll go dancing in the rings of laughter |
| And live along by the shores |
| Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows |
| Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows |
| How long how long? |
| ??? |
| in the grounds of ??? |
| we’ve left behind |
| Turned back by the foot of the doorway |
| Never lost and found |
| We’ve been too long American dreaming |
| I think we’ve all lost the heart |
| ??? |
| somnambulistic maniacal in the dark |
| Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows |
| Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows |
| How long how long? |
