I Can't Wake Up To Save My Life |
| In my nightmare everything’s wrong |
| I’m waiting for love, but you come along |
| You smile, you wave, you kiss me, Ciao |
| But you seem too happy to see me somehow |
| Then the sky falls in on my head |
| Your nails grow long, your eyes turn red |
| You say «Forever, dear, and a day» |
| You swear that you’re never going to go away |
| And my feet won’t move to run the other way |
| And I can’t wake up to save my life |
| Oh I can’t wake up to save my life |
| In my nightmare you forgive me The cruellest gift you could ever give me You say that you understand me now |
| But your eyes say «Brother, I’ll get you somehow» |
| And then the lightning streaks across the room |
| You smell like something fresh from the tomb |
| You squeeze too hard, you insist on kissing |
| When it seems like half your face is missing |
| And you hair’s turned into reptiles hissing |
| And I can’t wake up to save my life |
| Oh I can’t wake up to save my life |
| Things I done make my dreams go bad |
| Like Borstal boys coming home to dad |
| What you reap so shall you sow |
| Now feets don’t fail me, go man go |
| 'Cause I can’t wake up to save my life |
| Oh I can’t wake up to save my life |
| No I can’t wake up No I can’t wake up Oh I can’t |
