| You look like you’ve been losin' sleep
|
| Said a stranger on a train
|
| I fixed him with an ice cold stare and said
|
| I’ve been havin' those dreams again
|
| In one dream there’s this girl I love
|
| And we dance every wakin' breath
|
| And in the other they’ve thrown me in a cell
|
| And they’re tryin' me for her death
|
| I’m only young and young in love
|
| As I hold that girl today
|
| But I’m old and tired and in the cell
|
| And I’ve nigh on withered away
|
| Y’see my baby' gone away too long
|
| And I’m chokin' back the tears
|
| Disheveled star in a burnt out bar
|
| And I’m talkin' in my drink
|
| She promised me the world and more
|
| How could she do this to me?
|
| And now mine’s tumblin' down around
|
| But at least my eyes can see
|
| And those stars in the sky are for me
|
| So as this fagged-out tinsel town
|
| Waves so-long to the sun
|
| I lay here calmly on my bed
|
| And the trigger of my gun
|
| And should that no good woman show up
|
| Dancin' from a dream
|
| I’ll squeeze it twice and not think twice
|
| And relish every scream |
