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