Album: The Basement Recordings III (2013)

James Dean

(Nahhh Ooo)
(Nahhh Ooo)

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 that he can't be taken in
But he's on the road, he's livin' in sin

(Oooo, ey, Oooo)
Just as it seems, he's another James Dean

Stayin' 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

(Oooo, ey, Oooo)

You wouldn't like him if he stayed
A hero's dying everyday

Maryanne 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 hands to destroy the world
He's been given a taste to destroy all the girls
Given too many skills, a threat to be seen

Oooh, He's another James Dean

(Ooo, ey, Oooo)
Stayin' 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

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Only the gentle are ever really strong

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Stayin' 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

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