I Like Nightmares

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
