Picture Show
A young man from a small town
With a very large imagination
Lay alone is his room with his radio on
Looking for another station
When the static from the Mouthpiece
Gave way to the sound below
James Dean went out to Hollywood
And put his picture is a picture show
And it's Oh Daddy get off of your knees
Mama why'd you have to go
Your Darlin' Jim is out on a limb
I put my picture in a picture show
Put my picture in a picture show
Hamburgers Cheeseburger
Wilbur and Orville Wright
John Garfield is the afternoon
Montgomery Clift at night
When the static from the mouthpiece
Gave way to the sound below
James Dean went out to Hollywood
And put his picture in a picture show
A Mocca Man in a wigwam
Sitting on a reservation
With a big black hole
In the belly of his soul
Waiting on an explanation
While the white man
Sits on his fat can
And takes pictures of the Navajo
Every time he clicks
His Kodak pics
He steals a little bit of soul
With a very large imagination
Lay alone is his room with his radio on
Looking for another station
When the static from the Mouthpiece
Gave way to the sound below
James Dean went out to Hollywood
And put his picture is a picture show
And it's Oh Daddy get off of your knees
Mama why'd you have to go
Your Darlin' Jim is out on a limb
I put my picture in a picture show
Put my picture in a picture show
Hamburgers Cheeseburger
Wilbur and Orville Wright
John Garfield is the afternoon
Montgomery Clift at night
When the static from the mouthpiece
Gave way to the sound below
James Dean went out to Hollywood
And put his picture in a picture show
A Mocca Man in a wigwam
Sitting on a reservation
With a big black hole
In the belly of his soul
Waiting on an explanation
While the white man
Sits on his fat can
And takes pictures of the Navajo
Every time he clicks
His Kodak pics
He steals a little bit of soul
