I like nightmares, I like being witless Watch for the newsflash, cool eyewitness Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three...it's happening Gotta be a fucking fool to blame TV; don't get trapped in If you're lucky be the same as me I like nightmares, yes I do
There's a simple way to die they call it news There's a simple way to die they call it booze There's an easy, quiet escape just sleep and cruise It's justifiable rape they say you choose
And I like nightmares I like feeling chickless Flicking my lighter Watching life flit west Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three...it's happening Can we afford to strike three, don't trust the captain He's just a boy like me And I like nightmares...yes I do
There's a common way to weep they say just smoke You can cry yourself to sleep they say just toke There's a path that never fails you can't get lost Don't need roads you're on rails I'll pay the cost
And I like nightmares, yes I do We were wasted, but you're only waylaid once What we tasted was a voucher bag and lunch We robbed their bank and we took their gold And our lies in the tank must've sounded old But we pleaded I said, "Your honor, we're not chumps After all, we only did it once!"
We like nightmares They test our fitness A full can of goulash A taint in the midwest Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three It's happening Nothing floats interest free don't care what it's wrapped in You could be abreast like me and I like nightmares yes I do I like nightmares
