Too Drunk To Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sober
Life is a prison
Shit-faced
It is a blessing
Sober
Nobody wants you
Shit-faced
They're all undressing
Oh, sober
It's ever darker
Shit-faced
The moon is nearer
Sober
You're old and ugly
Shit-faced
Who needs a mirror?
Oh, sober
You're a cro-magnon
Shit-faced
You're very clever
Sober
You never should be
Shit-faced
Now and forever
I gotta get
Too drunk to dream
Because dreaming only makes me blue
I gotta get
Too drunk to dream
Because I only dream of you
I gotta get too pissed to miss you
Or I'll never get to sleep
I gotta drink wine apt to pine for you
And God knows that ain't cheap
I know you think I'm insane
I know it's not appealing
But till I'm feeling no pain
Guess what I'll be feeling
I gotta get
Too drunk to dream
Because dreaming only makes me blue
I gotta get
Too drunk to dream
Because I only dream of you
I gotta get
Too fried to cry
Or I'll be crying all night long
I gotta get too high to sigh
Oh my God, where did I go wrong?
So why do I get plastered
And why am I so lonely?
It's you, you heartless bastard
You're my one and only
I gotta get
Too drunk to dream
Because dreaming only makes me blue
I gotta get
Too drunk to dream
Because I only dream of you
I gotta get
Too pissed to miss you
Or I'll never get to sleep
I gotta drink
Apt to pine for you
And God knows that ain't cheap
And God knows that ain't cheap!
