Andrew Bird - American Dream Lyrics

[Chorus]
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream

[Verse 1]
Lover don't you come down
Without a sword or a gun
Well the gold and the silver 
You’re searching is hidden
Out there underground

But there's a beast on the clock
Guarding against the folk
And the ghost from the river is watching
She won't let you get any close

[Chorus]
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream

[Verse 2]
Lover don’t make a sound
Bring your rifle around
When I say hallelujah
It's your cue to shoot at
The head of the hound
Now take just what you need baby
Anymore won't fit your bag
Go as fast as your feet they will carry
For the greater chase has began

[Chorus]
It was just an American dream
It was just an American dream

[Verse 3]
There's no catching a breath
There's no rest till you are dead
There's no heaven or hell
There's no running away
