A young man from a small town
Seorang pemuda dari kota kecil

With a very large imagination
Dengan imajinasi yang sangat besar

Lay alone in his room with his radio on
Berbaring sendirian di kamarnya dengan radio menyala

Looking for another station
Mencari stasiun lain

When the static from the mouthpiece
Ketika suara statis dari mikrofon

Gave way to the sound below
Memberikan jalan pada suara di bawah

James Dean went out to Hollywood
James Dean pergi ke Hollywood

And put his picture in a Picture Show.
Dan menampilkan gambarnya di Pertunjukan Gambar.

James Dean went out to Hollywood
James Dean pergi ke Hollywood

And put his picture in a Picture Show.
Dan menampilkan gambarnya di Pertunjukan Gambar.


[Chorus:]
And It's Oh Daddy get off of your knees
Dan Oh Ayah, bangkitlah dari lututmu

Mamma why'd you have to go
Ibu, kenapa kau harus pergi

Your darling Jim is out a limb
Putramu yang tercinta, Jim, sedang terjepit

I put my picture in a Picture Show
Aku menampilkan gambarku di Pertunjukan Gambar

Whoa Ho! Put my picture in a Picture Show
Whoa Ho! Tampilkan gambarku di Pertunjukan Gambar


Hamburgers Cheeseburgers
Hamburger, Cheeseburger

Wilbur and Orville Wright
Wilbur dan Orville Wright

John Garfield in the afternoon
John Garfield di siang hari

Montgomery Clift at night
Montgomery Clift di malam hari

When the static hit the mouthpiece
Ketika suara statis menghantam mikrofon

Gave way to the sound below
Memberikan jalan pada suara di bawah

James Dean went out to Hollywood
James Dean pergi ke Hollywood

And put his picture in a Picture Show.
Dan menampilkan gambarnya di Pertunjukan Gambar.


[Chorus]

A Mocca man in a wigwam sitting on a Reservation.
Seorang pria Mocca di wigwam duduk di Reservasi.

With a big black hole in the belly of his soul
Dengan lubang hitam besar di perut jiwanya

Waiting on an explanation
Menunggu penjelasan

While the white man sits on his fat can
Sementara pria kulit putih duduk di kursi empuknya

And takes pictures of the Navajo
Dan memotret orang Navajo

Every time he clicks his Kodak pics
Setiap kali dia mengklik foto Kodaknya

He steals a little bit of soul.
Dia mencuri sedikit jiwa.

Every time he clicks his Kodak pics
Setiap kali dia mengklik foto Kodaknya

He steals a little bit of soul.
Dia mencuri sedikit jiwa.


[Chorus]

Yie Hi! Put my picture in a Picture Show
Yie Hi! Tampilkan gambarku di Pertunjukan Gambar

Here we go!
Ayo kita mulai!

A young man from a small town
Seorang pemuda dari kota kecil

With a very large imagination...
Dengan imajinasi yang sangat besar...
