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, do not 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 cannot get lost Do not need roads, you are on rails I will 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
