I Like Nightmares

[Chorus]
I like nightmares
I like being witless
Watch for the newsflash
Cool eyewitness
Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three, it's happening
Got to be a fucking fool to blame TV, don't get trapped in
If you are lucky be the same as me
I like nightmares, yes I do

[Verse 1]
There is a simple way to die they call it news
There is a simple way to fly they call it booze
There is an easy quiet escape just sleep and cruise
It is justifiable rape they say you choose

[Chorus]
I like nightmares
I like feeling chick-less
Flicking my lighter
Watching life flit west
Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three, it is happening
Can we afford to strike three, don't trust the captain
He is just a boy like me
And I like nightmares, yes I do

[Verse 2]
There is a common way to weep they say just smoke
You can cry yourself to sleep they say just toke
There is a path that never fails you can't get lost
Do not need roads, you are on rails, I pay the cost

[Chorus]
And I like nightmares, yes I do
We were wasted, but you are 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 have sounded old
But we pleaded
I said, "Your honor, we are not chumps
After all, we only did it once!"

[Outro]
We like nightmares
They test our fitness
A full can of goulash
A taint in the mid-west
Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three, it is happening
Nothing floats interest free, do not care what it is wrapped in
You could be abreast like me
And I like nightmares, yes I do
I like nightmares
