Verse 1
You drove me places I've never been
We slept in the back of your white pickup
As the movie played on and on.
Then I saw the storm behind your eyes
as you began to turn away from me.
The TV blared a phrase.
Telling me to "RUN!"
But before it was too late,
I decided my fate.
Pre-Chorus
You stole me away
Forced everything I never known down my throat
It was over, my life before.
My fate sealed with a single kiss
Chorus
I C-C-Can't
C-C-Can't, I
Give me back my will
I C-C-Can't
C-C-Can't, I
J-J-James Dean
He held me in his arms
As I drowned
D-D-Drowned, I
I Drowned as he laughed these tears away.
Verse 2
You were everything 'til you were nothing at all
Watched by All, Seen by None
As I walked alone down Sunset Avenue
Pre-Chorus
You stole me away
Forced everything I never known down my throat
It was over, my life before.
My fate sealed with a single kiss
Post-Chorus:
Leave me
Here alone at the empty drive-in.
Where everything first went wrong.
You lied, I cried, we died
As the world began to end
And the projected image of fame faded to black.
Chorus:
I C-C-Can't
C-C-Can't, I
Give me back my will
I C-C-Can't
C-C-Can't, I
J-J-James Dean
He held me in his arms
As I drowned
D-D-Drowned, I
I Drowned as he laughed these tears away.
Outro:
Ah, Ah-ah
Ah, Ah-ah-ah
Ah, Ah-ah,
My American Judas
