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
