A young man from a small town
|
With a very large imagination
|
Lay alone is his room with his radio on
|
Looking for another station
|
When the static from the Mouthpiece
|
Gave way to the sound below
|
James Dean went out to Hollywood
|
And put his picture is a picture show
|
|
And it's Oh Daddy get off of your knees
|
Mama why'd you have to go
|
Your Darlin' Jim is out on a limb
|
I put my picture in a picture show
|
Put my picture in a picture show
|
|
Hamburgers Cheeseburger
|
Wilbur and Orville Wright
|
John Garfield is the afternoon
|
Montgomery Clift at night
|
When the static from the mouthpiece
|
Gave way to the sound below
|
James Dean went out to Hollywood
|
And put his picture in a picture show
|
|
A Mocca Man in a wigwam
|
Sitting on a reservation
|
With a big black hole
|
In the belly of his soul
|
Waiting on an explanation
|
While the white man
|
Sits on his fat can
|
And takes pictures of the Navajo
|
Every time he clicks
|
His Kodak pics
|
He steals a little bit of soul
|
