No I can't wake up to save my life
No I can't wake up to save my life
Like Borstal boys coming home to dad
Then the lightning streaks across the room
And I can't wake up to save my life
You swear that you're never going to go away
You squeeze too hard, you insist on kissing
What you reap so shall you sow
No I can't wake up
No I can't wake up
No I can't wake up to save my life
You say that you understand me now
'Cos I can't wake up to save my life
You smell like something fresh from the tomb
But your eyes say, brother, I'll get you somehow
And your hair's turned into reptiles hissing
Your nails grow long, your eyes turn red
The cruelest gift you could ever give me
You say, forever dear and a day
Then the sky falls in on my head
My feet starting to fail me, go man go
In my nightmare you forgive me
And I can't wake up to save my life
But you seem too happy to see me somehow
You smile, you wave, you greet me, ciao
When it seems like half your face is missing
And my feet won't move when I run the other way
Things I done make my dreams go bad
