The American Dream

I can't see you
But I hear you
We must be getting nearer.
In an orbit
On the highway,
Life is getting clearer.

Sometimes reality
Is about fantasy,
Let’s never stop
All around the clock:
Dreaming the Dream – the American Dream –
The American Dream - Still dreaming.
Dreaming the Dream – the American Dream –
The American Dream - Still dreaming.

Better than life,
Bigger than the night,
Here for today,   In a hurry
All is shifting,
Nothing stays the same,
Only the reruns . . .

Life is a cartoon,
Another sound to listen to.
Like the sound of radio rock
All around the clock:
Dreaming the Dream – the American Dream –
The American Dream - Still dreaming.
The American Dream – the American Dream –
The American Dream - Still dreaming.

I've got to sign out of this race,
Got to find another place,
Closer to sanity,
But I’m still dreaming –

The American Dream – the American Dream –
The American Dream - Still dreaming.
The American Dream – the American Dream –
The American Dream - Still dreaming.

I can't see you
But I hear you
We must be getting nearer.
