You look like you've been losing sleep Said a stranger on a train I fixed him with an ice cold stare and said I've been having those dreams again
In one dream, there's this girl I love And we dance every waking breath And in the other they've thrown me in a cell And they're trying me for her death
I'm only young and young in love As I hold that girl today But I'm old and tired and in the cell And I've nigh on withered away
You see my baby's gone away too long And I'm choking back the tears Disheveled star in a burnt out bar And I'm talking in my drink
She promised me the world and more How could she do this to me? And now mind's tumbling down around But at least my eyes can see And those stars in the sky are for me
So as this fagged-out tinsel town Waves so long to the sun I lay here calmly on my bed And the trigger of my gun
And should that no good woman show up Dancing from a dream I'll squeeze it tight and not think twice And relish every scream
