American Dreaming lyrics
by Dead Can Dance
I need my conscience to keep watch over meTo protect me from myselfSo I can wear honesty like a crown on my headWhen I walk into the promised landWe've been too long American dreamingAnd I think we've all lost the wayForlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the darkI'm in love with an American girlThough she's my best friendI love her surreptitious smileThat hides the pain within herAnd we'll go dancing in the rings of laughterAnd live along by the shores???Faith, on the lea the rising wind blowsFaith, on the lea the rising wind blowsHow long how long?Here alone on the grounds are millions of seeds we've left behindTurned back by the foot of the doorwayNever lost and foundWe've been too long American dreamingI think we've all lost: lost the doorFear on somnambulistic maniacal in the darkFaith, on the lea the rising wind blowsFaith, on the lea the rising wind blowsHow long how long?
