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?
