Most lovers often reject
And we'll go dancing beside desert waters
Who must choose between love and desire
That hides the pain within her
Spare a thought for the unfortunate man
We've been too long American dreaming
When I walk into the promised land
And dine upon the crumbs of faith
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
Well, she's my best friend
I'm in love with an American girl
I love her surreptitious smile
We've been too long American dreaming
Like some somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
Where love is so wastefully spent
And I think we've all lost the way
I think we've all lost the way
