{intro} | | | I like nightmares | I like being witless | One for the news flash | Cool eyewitness | Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three, it's happening | Gotta be a fucking fool to blame TV | Don't get trapped in | If you're lucky, be the same as me | I like nightmares | Yes, I do | There's a simple way to die they call it news | There's a simple way to fly they call it booze | There's an easy quiet escape, just sleep and cruise | | It's justifiable rape, they say you choose And I like nightmares I like feeling cheekless {?} Lifting up my lighter {?} Watching life with west {?} '81, '82, '83, it's happening Can we afford strike three Don't trust the captain He's just a boy like me And I like nightmares, yes, I do There's a common way to weep, they say just smoke You can cry yourself to sleep, they say just toke There's a path that never fails, you can't get lost Don't need roads, you're on rails, I'll pay the cost And I like nightmares, yes, I do {bridge} | We were wasted, but you're only waylaid once | What we tasted was a voucher, pay their lunch | We robbed their banks and we took their gold | And our lies in the tank must've sounded old | But we pleaded | I said, "You're honor were not chumps, after all, we only did it once." We like nightmares We taste our fitness All kind of goulash A taint in the midwest '81, '82, '83, it's happening Nothing votes interest free Don't care what it's wrapped in You can be abreast like me | And I like nightmares | Yes, I do || I like nightmares
