Fireman

Dreamed I was a fireman I just smoked and watched you burn Dreamed I was an astronaut I shot you down like a juggernaut Dreamed we were still going out Had that one a few times now Woke up to find we were not It's good to be awake Dreamed I was a tidal wave I ravaged your coast, there were no survivors Dreamed I was your landlord I showed your place when you had lovers If I was a vampire I wouldn't suck your blood Then I dreamed I was you Sweetest dream I have had If you could hear the dreams I've had, my dear They would give you nightmares for a week But you're not here and I can never sleep Come home so I can be a creep Dreamed I was a dream I stole you away, away in your sleep Saved you from a fire, a gun for hire Introduced you to a vampire A wave crashed on the beach We rolled around in its foamy grasp Kissing in the chaos of a kelpy sea Seems I couldn't save you from me Maybe I'm obsessive to think like this Probably not impressing you with my cheap tricks Honey, it's depressing what depression does to some I'll play the part for hours but I know you'll never come If you could hear the dreams I've had, my dear They would give you nightmares for a week But you're not here and I can never sleep Come home so I can be a creep
