I Like Nightmares

I like nightmares, I like being witless

Watch for the newsflash, cool eyewitness

81, 82, 83, 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 fly, they call it booze

There's an easy quiet escape, just sleep and cruise

It's justifiable rape, they say you choose

I like nightmares, I like feeling chick less

Flicking my lighter, watching life flit west

81, 82, 83, 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 joke

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 honour, 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 mid-west

81, 82, 83, 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
