"You look like you've been losin' sleep"
Said a stranger on a trainI fixed him with an ice cold stare
And said "I've been havin' those dreams again"In one dream there's this girl I know
And we dance every wakin' breathAnd in the other they've thrown me in a cell
And they're tryin' me for her deathI'm only young and young in love,
As I hold that girl todayBut I'm old and tired and in the cell
And I've nigh on withered awaywhy'see my babe has gone away too long
I'm chokin' back the tearsDisheveled star in a burnt out bar
I'm talkin' in my drinkShe promised me the world and more
How could she do this to me?And now mine's tumblin' down around
But at least my eyes can see
And those stars in the sky are for meSo as this fagged-out tinsel town
Waves so-long to the sunI lay here calmly on my bed,
And the trigger of my gunShould that no good woman show up,
Dancin' from a dreamI'll squeeze it twice,
And not think twice,
And relish every scream......
