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
Like Some 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 Beside Desert Waters
Where Love Is So Wastefully Spent
& Dine Upon The Crumbs Of Faith
Most Lovers Often Reject.
Spare A Thought For The Unfortunate Man
Who Must Choose Between Love And Desire

We've Been Too Long American Dreaming
I Think We've All Lost The Way
Like Some Somnambulistic Maniacal In The Dark.
