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
