James Dean

He couldn't keep you safe if he tried
But when he let you see in his liquid eyes
It became a crime, take him away

Doesn't know how to love
Doesn't know how to win
He only knows he can't be taken in
But he's on the road, he's living in sin
Just as it seems, he's another James Dean

Staying up, he's restless through the night
While Santa Monica signs are fading
He's got his blood and he's looking for a fight
Another Hollywood hero's baby

You wouldn't like him if he stayed
A hero's dying every day
Maryann wasn't fitting in with his lies
Learned more from a fool than she learned from the wise
Crying out to the skies, "take him away"

He's been given the hands to destroy the world
He's been given a taste to destroy the girls
Given too many schemes, a threat to be seen
Oh, he's another James Dean

Staying up, he's restless through the night
While Santa Monica signs are fading
He's got his blood and he's looking for a fight
Another Hollywood hero's baby

Riding strong, it feels like he belongs
While Santa Monica's dreams are sleeping
Hush now, he'll always carry on
He's a Hollywood hero's baby

Only the gentle are ever really strong
Yeah Yeah Yeah...

Staying up, he's restless through the night
While Santa Monica signs are fading
He's got his blood and he's looking for a fight
Another Hollywood hero's baby

Riding strong, it feels like he belongs
Santa Monica's dreams are sleeping
Hush now, he'll always carry on
He's a Hollywood hero's baby
