Sniff 'n' the Tears Lyrics
"American Dreams"

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
