The night it smells just like your perfume
The desert air won't let me forget you
"Hey there, it's Mr. Doom and Gloom
Lonely looking for someone to talk to"
Calling up another cheap motel room
Reading texts bout all the ways I hurt you
I guess I'm just grasping the truth
I'm not half of the shit I put you through
I'm not happy but I look good
I've been dreaming American dreams
Nightmarish American dreams
And I don't want to fall asleep
Chasing the fantasy
It's not as good it seems
I've been dreaming American dreams
Nightmarish American dreams
And I don't want to fall asleep
Chasing the fantasy
It's not as good it seems
Floating out in the Silver Lake reservoir
Typing up the final pages of my memoir
Lost in my own California noir
Kill the laugh track I know where the jokes are
I'm not happy but I look good
I've been dreaming American dreams
Nightmarish American dreams
And I don't want to fall asleep
Chasing the fantasy
It's not as good it seems
I've been dreaming American dreams
Nightmarish American dreams
And I don't want to fall asleep
Chasing the fantasy
It's not as good it seems
Now that things have come to a standstill
Fear and loneliness topped up and refilled
I've been dreaming
I've been dreaming American dreams
Nightmarish American dreams
And I don't want to fall asleep
Chasing the fantasy
It's not as good it seems
I've been dreaming American dreams
Nightmarish American dreams
And I don't want to fall asleep
Chasing the fantasy
It's not as good it seems
It's not as good it seems
It's not as good it seems
