You packed your bags and vanished murder on your mind looking for a better life something more defined I'll see you in your daydreams we can find new games to play I'll remember what you told me should we meet again someday And we all dream American dreams Stepping back into the shadows from the madness of your smile the wind has banged the shutters shut our sanity's on trial and I know that though you're leaving you've got to have the final word and everything of meaning in our lives will not be spared And we all dream American dreams So I'll be searching for a signpost to point the way again the way that came so easily when we looked for it back then I don't know where I'm headed I'm just taking it on trust cause everything that's static turns eventually to dust And we all dream American dreams
