American Dreaming lyrics

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 I think we've 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 Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows Yeah, 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 all lost the heart Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal In the dark Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows Yeah, on the lea the rising wind blows How long? How long?
