I Can't Wake Up to Save My Life

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
