"American Dreams" lyrics

"American Dreams"

She walked alone to school
Painted black and blue
Her nails red white and the color of money

Their were no second chances
Or midnight summer dances
It was way to short, to consider it funny

So she bought herself a dream
From the grown up magazine
Traded their word, for a smile

Another day another night
Another wrong to make it right
She drove off into the night

Now she's standing on the boulevard
Somewhere in Hollywood
Friends say she'd be moving on
But you know she never could

Whoa I hear, she talks in her sleep
Someday she'll wake up from her
American Dreams

Forty days and forty nights
She walked through desert lights
Searching for a little hometown redemption

Buss some tables, Bust some Rhymes
Turn some water into wine
To be important is all in your perception

So she wrote herself a song
Taught the word to sing along
Singing, Na Na Na Na Hey

Now She's standing on the boulevard
Somewhere in Hollywood
Friends say she'd be moving on
But you know she never could

Whoa I hear, she talks in her sleep
Someday she'll wake up from her
American Dreams

She's standing on the boulevard
Somewhere in Hollywood
Friends say she'd be moving on
But you know she never could

Ooo I hear, she talks in her sleep
Someday she'll wake up from her
American Dreams

Someday she'll wake up from her
Someday she'll wake up from her
Someday she'll wake up from her
American Dreams
