Dead Can Dance "American Dreaming"

(Side note: I added some lyrics, seems that nowhere has the full lyrics, ill put the stuff I added in italics as it may not make the most sense)

I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land

We've been too long American dreaming
And I think we've all lost the way
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

I'm in love with an American girl
Though she's my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her

And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter
And live along by the shores
Forlorn in the ground of rapture
As we belong for the loss

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long how long?

Forlorn in the grounds of allegiances we've left behind
Turned back by the foot of the doorway
Never lost and found

We've been too long American dreaming
I think we've all lost the heart
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long how long?

PS- If you got this far, then you are lucky enough to find out that I just signed up for an entire friggin year! Sure, could've spent it on something else, but why?
