Too Drunk to Dream

[Intro: Stephen Merritt] Sober, life is a prison Shit faced, it is a blessing Sober, nobody wants you Shit faced, they're all undressing Oh, sober, it's ever darker Shit-faced, the moon is nearer Sober, you're old and ugly Shit-faced, who needs a mirror? Oh, sober, you're a Cro-Magnon Shit faced, you're very clever Sober, you never should be Shit faced, now and forever [Chorus 1: Stephen Merritt] I've got to get too drunk to dream Cause dreaming only makes me blue I've got to get too drunk to dream Because I only dream of you I've got to get too pissed to miss you Or I'll never get to sleep I've got to drink wine not to pine for you And God knows that ain't cheap [Verse 1: Stephen Merritt] I know you think I'm insane I know it's not appealing But 'til I'm feeling no pain Guess what I'll be feeling? [Chorus 2: Stephen Merritt] I've got to get too drunk to dream Because dreaming only makes me blue I've got to get too drunk to dream Because I only dream of you I've got to get too fried to cry Or I'll be crying all night long I've got to get too high to sigh Oh, my God, where did I go wrong? [Verse 2: Stephen Merritt] So why do I get plastered? And why am I so lonely? It's you, you heartless bastard You're my one and only [Chorus 1: Stephen Merritt] I've got to get too drunk to dream Cause dreaming only makes me blue I've got to get too drunk to dream Because I only dream of you I've got to get too pissed to miss you Or I'll never get to sleep I've got to drink wine not to pine for you And God knows that ain't cheap And God knows that ain't cheap
