Pristine

All this time I was thinkin' about technicolor, Super 8
Like those old films
Blue waves
The white text over it
Like those crystal water submerged
I’m happy under it
Oh, just me in the sea with blue light for company
And that, all this time I was tryin' to be
James Dean, pristine, suntanned, underwater
Living an American dream
California bleach blond
Pink skies across the pond
Suntanned, underwater, living an American dream
I could be a beacon of health
I could live without this wealth
Live my life in black and white
Just like an American dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Reads like an American dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Reads like an American dream
All this time I was thinkin' about Brando, Cousteau
20th century slick back
Black and white heroes
And he wants to be a pilot
And he wants to be a diver
And he wants to be, he wants to be
Something higher
And that, all this time I was tryin' to be
James Dean, pristine, suntanned, underwater
Living an american dream
California bleach blond
Pink skies across the pond
Suntanned, underwater, living an american dream
I could be a beacon of health
I could live without this wealth
Live my life in black and white
Just like an American dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Reads like an American dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Reads like an American dream
In the rain and I’m goin' nowhere
In the sun, I’m already there
I’ll be the boy with the golden hair
I know it’s all in America
Oh, In the rain and I’m goin' nowhere
In the sun, I’m already there
I’ll be the boy with the golden hair
I know it’s all in America
And that, all this time I was tryin' to be
James Dean, pristine, suntanned, underwater
Living an american dream
California bleach blond
Pink skies across the pond
Suntanned, underwater, living an american dream
I could be a beacon of health
I could live without this wealth
Live my life in black and white
Just like an American dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Reads like an American dream
Oh woah oh oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Reads like an American dream
