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 all lost the way

Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

I'm in love with an american girl

Well, 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 leave alone by the shores

Feel alone in the brands of rapture

And leave alone for the loss

Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows

Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows

How long? how long?

Here alone on the grounds of allegiances 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 lost the heart

Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows

Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows

How long? how long?
