|
A young man from a small town |
|
With a very large imagination |
|
Lay alone in 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 in a picture show. |
|
James dean went out to hollywood |
|
And put his picture in a picture show. |
|
Chorus: |
|
And it's oh daddy get off of your knees |
|
Mamma why'd you have to go |
|
Your darling jim is out a limb |
|
I put my picture in a picture show |
|
Whoa ho! put my picture in a picture show |
|
Hamburgers cheeseburgers |
|
Wilbur and orville wright |
|
John garfield in the afternoon |
|
Montgomery clift at night |
|
When the static hit the mouthpiece |
|
Gave way to the sound below |
|
James dean went out to hollywood |
|
And put his picture in a picture show. |
|
Repeat chorus: |
|
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. |
|
Every time he clicks his kodak pics |
|
He steals a little bit of soul. |
|
Repeat chorus: |
|
Yie hi! put my picture in a picture show |
|
Here we go! |
|
A young man from a small town |
|
With a very large imagination... |
