All this time I was thinkin' about technical reciperate
Like those old films
Blue waves
The white text over it
Like those crystal water summers
I am happy under it
Oh, just me in the sea with blue light for company
And that, all this time I was tryin' to be
James Dean, pristine, suntanned, underwater
Living an american dream
California bleach blond
Pink scars across the pond
Suntanned, underwater, living an american dream
I could be a beacon of hell
I could live without this swell
Live my life in black and white
Just like an american dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Is an american dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Is an american dream
All this time I was thinkin' about Brando Custo
20th century slick back
Black and white heroes
And he wants to be a pilot
And he wants to be a diver
And he wants to be, he wants to be
Something higher-er!
And that, all this time I was tryin' to be
James Dean, pristine, suntanned, underwater
Living an american dream
California bleach blond
Pink scars across the pond
Suntanned, underwater, living an american dream
I could be a beacon of hell
I could live without this swell
Live my life in black and white
Just like an american dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Is an american dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Is an american dream
In the rain and I'm goin' no where
In the sun, I'm already there
I'll be the boy with the golden hair
I know it's all in America
In the rain and I'm goin' no where
In the sun, I'm already there
I'll be the boy with the golden hair
I know it's all in America
And that, all this time I was tryin' to be
James Dean, pristine, suntanned, underwater
Living an american dream
California bleach blond
Pink scars across the pond
Suntanned, underwater, living an american dream
I could be a beacon of hell
I could live without this swell
Live my life in black and white
Just like an american dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Is an american dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Is an american dream
