James dean, james dean
I know just what you mean
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look allright
If I could see it on the silver screen

You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

Well talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
You were just too cool for school
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
The only thing that got you off was breakin all the rules
James dean, james dean
So hungry and so lean
James dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

Little james dean, up on the screen
Wondrin who he might be
Along came a spyder and picked up a rider
And took him down the road to eternity

James dean, james dean, you bought it sight unseen

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
You were to fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye

How come you love him when he
Takes you for a fool
Hes only lookin for a good time
How can he love you when he
Treats you mean and cruel
Hes not the best thing that you could find
Is it true?
I cant believe it
Is it true?
I just cant see it
Is it true?
Is that you?

When we were young, we didnt really have a care
You were hung up, I had a good line
I never knew it then but, man, I was in love
How could I know it was the right time?
Is it true?
Youve lost that feelin?
Is is true?
You might be leavin?
Is it true?
Dont wanna find out

Yes, I was so wrong
For leading you on
There wasnt much I could do

I was a wild one, but I can change some
If thats important to you
Is it true- youve lost that feelin?
Is it true- you might be leavin?
Is it true?
Is it true?
Shes really leavin
Shes really leavin

Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin better
But theres nowhere else in sight
Its survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets dont have much pity
When youre down, thats where youll stay
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city

I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life aint very pretty
No ones there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin better
And I cant stay another night
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city

I wish you peace when the cold winds blow
Warmed by the fires glow
I wish you comfort in the, the lonely time
And arms to hold you when you ache inside

I wish you hope when things are going bad
Kind words when times are sad
I wish you shelter from the, the raging wind
Cooling waters at the fevers end

I wish you peace when times are hard
The light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low

I wish you the strength to let love grow on,
I wish you the strength to let love flow,

I wish you peace when times are hard
A light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, you dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let let grown on,
I wish you the strength to let love flow,
I wish you the strength to let love glow on
I wish you the strength to let love go on.
