american dreaming

dead can dance'ın memento albümünde yer alan, gotikliğe yaklaşmayan, mistik de olmayan - duru ve temiz parçası.
her zamanki şeyler üzerinedir. her zamanki iyi şeyler ya da daha fazlası.

"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

Weve 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 shes my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her

And well 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?

Turned back by the foot of the doorway
Never lost and found

We've been too long american dreaming
I think weve all lost the heart

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long how long?
